title: Comparative biochemical and morphological investigation of the liver of experimental animals in the process of hepatotropic effect of atmospheric pollution (on the model of carbon tetrachloride).
abstract: The authors effected a comparative examination of morphologic and biochemical investigation of structural and enzymic reactions of the rat liver during different periods of permanent inhalation influence of carbon tetrachloride. Three stages of morphologico-biochemical parllels in the development of hepatotropic effect characterized by certain regularities in the enzymic desorganization of lysosyme, mitochondrias and cytasol by derangement of the exchange of biopolymers containing carbohydrate (of glycoproteids, glycosaminoglycans) and DNK-synthetizing function in liver in comparison with control animals were revealed. Mechanisms of the hepatotropic effect and hygienic importance of structural function changes of hepatocytes due to action of factors polluting the atmosphere are appreciated.
