Abstract

A study of submicroscopic changes in astrocytes after intracerebral injection of the carcinogen 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene suggests that the so-called true period of preglioma begins on the 45th day of the experiment, when astrocytes of a typical ultrastructure begin to appear against the background of degenerative changes. Changes in the submicroscopic organization of the astrocytes during chemical carcinogenesis can be subdivided into three stages: I) intracellular hyperplasia, due to traumatic brain injury; II) degenerative changes, connected with disturbance of the blood supply to the tissue and the direct action of the carcinogen on it; III) atypical ultrastructural reorganization.
