title: [Action of x-ray irradiation on the nuclear envelope of rat liver cells].
abstract: X-irradiation of isolated nuclear envelopes (NE) has revealed their high radiosensitivity, while irradiation of isolated intact nuclei in vitro, in the doses up to 5000 r 18--20 hours after partial hepatectomy, produced no morphological changes in NE. The damaging effect of irradiation on both nuclei and mitochondria (Mt) was revealed only with a decrease in cytochrome-c-oxidase (CO) activity in parallel with an increase in the radiation dose. One hour after the whole body irradiation of rats in the beginning of S-period, the damaging effect was recorded in both NE and Mt at the doses of 50 and 150 t, and was enhanced with the increase of irradiation dose. Morphological changes were observed mostly in the outer nuclear membrane, which lost its distinct outline and disappeared from some nuclear regions. Lethal radiation doses produced a decrease in the number of pore complexes (PC) with their evident segregation from the membranes. After irradiation in a dose of 1200 r, only the residue or "ghosts" of the PCs remained. After irradiation in doses up to 400 r, the CO-activity recovered during the first hour in Mt and during first two hours in the nuclei.
