โฆ Synopsis
Cyclosporin A (50 mg/kg orally for 7 days) produced severe degranulation and hydropic degeneration of islet B cells in rats. These changes were accompanied by hyperglycaemia and hypoinsulinaemia, while the pancreatic insulin content decreased by 75%.

## Abstract Wistar rats were treated daily with cyclizine (50โ75 mg kg^โ1^) and autopsied every week until the eighth week of the treatment. Although no evident change could be detected by either serum analysis or by light microscopy from the first week to the fourth week, electron microscopy revea
Subcutaneous implantation of bone chips into normal and osteopetrotic (iu) rats results in the formation of multinucleate giant cells (MNGCs) adjacent to the bone surface. In this study the resorptive and morphological characteristics of the cells surrounding these implants were assessed to determin
