Abstract:
The effect of lead on ultrastructure of supraoptic and paraventricular neurons was studied in rats allowed to drink lead acetate solution instead of water during 6 weeks. Generally, the neurosecretory neurons appeared to be sensitive to lead dependently on its concentrations, but the ultrastructural patterns of the individual neurons varied from cell to cell and suggested the co-existence of the neurons in different functional states such as the increased secretory activity, adaptive responses or cellular degeneration.
