- Abstract
The structural changes of neurons of the rat hypothalamic supraoptic (SON) and of paraventricular (PVN) nucleus after 48 h of bright light exposure, of 5 Gy whole-body X-irradiation and of their combination subjected to the analysis by means of light-optic and of electron microscopy for the estimation of radimodificated effect of light exposure lasted 24 h a day and plasticity of neuroendocrine transducers interacted with the optic sensory system. The structural changes of neurons of the SON after combined action are less considerable and more prolonged in comparison with the PVN that loas defermined by their direct connection with the optic sensory system via the retinohypothalamic tract.
