Influence of chronic doses of mercuric acetate and lead acetate on the number and activity of Gomori-positive glial cells in the mouse brain.
Intraperitoneal injections of mercuric acetate or lead acetate in doses of 0.2 mg daily during 14 and 21 days caused statistically significant rise in the number of the Gomori-positive glial cells around the third cerebral ventricle of mice. In addition, the nuclei of the Gomori-positive glial cells markedly increased in volume.
