Morphological changes in rat's brain choroid plexus after exposure to low doses of high energy oxygen ions, fast neutrons, and gamma radiation.
Ultrastructural and morphometrical changes in choroid plexus cells of the rat's brain in the delay period after irradiation with low doses of oxygen ions [= 300 MeV/nucleon], and fast neutrons [1.5 MeV], and gamma rays (Co60) were described. The applied irradiations provoked similar ultrastructural changes in choroid plexus cells; however, the obtained morphometrical data showed differing effects of these radiations, due to, probably, different mechanisms of their effect on the cells.
