Abstract
Changes in the parameters of the volumetric fractions of the principal cytoplasmic organelles of histiocytes in the subcutaneous connective tissue of albino rats were demonstrated during experimental dehydration and starvation. The common response of the histiocytes under these conditions was by hypertrophy of the lysosomal apparatus and infiltration of the cells with lipids. At the same time certain differences are stressed: During dehydration there is an increase in the volumetric fractions of the mitochondria and granular endoplasmic reticulum, whereas during starvation the increase affects the fraction of phagosomes. On account of dehydration the volume of the fraction of pinocytotic vacuoles is sharply reduced.
