Abstract
Fasting for 24 hours did not change the number of dividing cells of the corneal epithelium in rats with the average weight of 55–60 g, whereas 48-hour fasting was accompanied by its intensification; mitotic activity was found to be considerably reduced after 72 hr of the experiment. After an initial rise, observed for up to 72 hr of fasting, the mitotic activity was found to decrease on the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th days in rats with an average weight of 157 g. The maximal reduction of mitotic activity (34%) and of the body weight (35%) was revealed on the 7th experimental day.
