title: Quinolinic acid: effect on the nucleus arcuatus of the hypothalamus in the rat (ultrastructural evidence).
abstract: Quinolinic acid was administered intraperitoneally to male Wistar rats in a dose of 60 mmol, once daily for 8 days. By electron microscopy, in quinolinic acid-treated rats, the neuronal cell bodies in the arcuate nucleus had features of increased cellular activity, but some damage of neuronal cell bodies was also evident.
