Abstract
Mast cells of the mesentery and subcutaneous tissue in BALB/c and C57Bl/6 mice were studied after single and repeated cold exposure (-20 degrees C, 3 min). Immediate adaptive reactions of mast cells in BALB/c and C57Bl/6 mice did not differ after single cold exposure and were manifested in increased degranulation. Repeated cold exposure of BALB/c mice was followed by an adaptive reaction, which included an increase in the count of mast cells in subcutaneous tissue and normalization of the degranulation index. In C57Bl/6 mice the count of mast cells in subcutaneous tissue decreased, while the degranulation index remained high. These changes reflect the disadaptive response of mast cells to repeated cold exposure.
