Abstract:
:We have examined the surface ultrastructure and morphological characteristics of leucocytes obtained from control rats breathing air and rats made acutely hypoxic (breathing 6% O2, for 30 min). Striking ultrastructural and morphological changes occurred in the leucocytes of hypoxic rats. These changes included the appearance of crater-like holes, a reduction in granule size and disruption of the cell membrane. The implications of these findings are discussed.
