[Dystrophic and reparative changes in the cortical neurons of rat progeny in moderate prenatal alcoholization]

Dynamics of dystrophic and reparative changes of sensorimotor cortex neurons ultrastructure in 21, 30 and 60-days progeny of rat treated with moderate doses of alcohol during pregnancy was studied with these changes found in mature cortical neurons having their own dynamics in postnatal ontogenesis. Dystrophic changes are better expressed until the age of a month. Signs of reparative processes increase with age, but hypoxically ischemic dystrophic neuronal changes remain up to puberty, which indicates effectiveness of moderate prenatal action of alcohol.
