Abstract:
The authors were investigating the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the cells of the thyroid gland of pinealectomized and melatonin treated rats whose body irradiated with 8 Gy gamma rays. It was established that melatonin decreased height of the thyreocytes in peripherical and central part of gland, and nuclear volume of thyreocytes only in the central part of gland. The results suggest the role of melatonin in determination of the behaviour of thyreocytes upon Pinealeotomy and Radiation.
