title: Morphological changes in rat's brain choroid plexus after exposure to low doses of high energy oxygen ions, fast neutrons, and gamma radiation.
abstract: 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.
