[Changes in the ultrastructure of the cerebral cortex in experimental chronic morphine poisoning and morphine withdrawal].
The ultrastructure of cortical neurons of rats was studied by electron microscopy in the dynamics of chronic morphine poisoning and discontinuation. Administrtion of monotonous (30 mg/kg) and increasing (from 30-480 mg/kg) doses of morphine followed by its discontinuation induced submicroscopic reconstruction of the endoplasmatic network and reactive changes in the neurons. It is suggested that impaired production of protein-synthesizing substances (endogenous polypeptide) points to an effect of morphine on the metabolic processes of neurons.
