Description

Enlargement of cardyomyocyte nuclei of rats after local γ-irradiation (2400 R) and with the compensatory hypertrophy is associated with the accumulation of nuclear proteins (non-histone fractions being predominant). Number of polyploid decreases and that of small nuclei, having a reduced content of DNA and protein (and excess histones), increases after irradiation. A combined exposure to radiation and hemodynamic load enhances the observed radiation effects and reduces nuclear changes typical of hypertrophy development
