Abstract: | A quantitative analysis of the cellular elements composition of the neocortex has been performed in 40-day-old mice, that have been given full-bodied synthetic diet (10% of protein) and the diet with the half concentration of the nutritive substances (5% of protein) beginning from the 10th day of their life. The protein-energetic insufficiency during the postnatal period produces retardation in the formation and differentiation processes of oligodendrogliocytes, as well as results in decrease of gliocytesatellites in the neocortex. |
