FURTHER STUDIES OF A LYMPHOCYTIC HAEMOGRAM AND ITS RELATION TO LYMPHOCYTOPOIESIS. II. VARIATIONS IN MITOCHONDRIAL CONTENT OF BLOOD LYMPHOCYTES IN RELATION TO THE REGENERATION OF THE LYMPHATIC APPARATUS OF RATS AFTER TOTAL BODY X-IRRADIATION (ENGLISH TEXT)

In 35 male albino rats weighing around 200 g, changes in the number of the mitochondria in blood lymphocytes were observed after total-body x irradiation in a dose of 600 r. An acute decrease in number of lymphocytes and mitochondria per lymphocyte occurred shortly after irradiation and continued until the third week when the lymphatic tissues in the mesentery and spleen had recovered from the histological damage. This finding supports the opinion that a marked increase or decrease in mitochondria in the circulating lymphocytes nnay indicate an increased or decreased production and release of lymphatic cells.
