    Abstract:
    EDS alkylating agent has been shown to selectively and temporarily kill LCs in adult rats. The first newly formed single LCs appeared at 14th day post ESD and showed detectable activity for 3beta-HSD and NADH2-diaphorase, which became progressively stronger with time after treatment The ultrastructural study revealed that the progenitor LCs differentiated into immature LCs within a week, and two weeks later they were transformed into mature LCs. Therefore, the restoration of new LC population after EDS treatment repeated the dynamics of normal LC development within a similar time range. The dynamics of enzyme activity correlated with structural differentiation of the new LC population.
