[An electron radioautographic study of the dynamic decrease in the level of RNA synthesis in human brain cells at different times after death].

Abstract

The above study is performed in neurons, oligodendrocytes and capillary endotheliocytes of human brain 4-13 hours after death. Brain biopsies after the surgery and early necropsies served as the material. RNA synthesis in some neurons and glial cells is retained to some degree 8-13 hours after death. Oligodendrocytes are more and neurons less resistant. Grave disturbances of the CNS microcirculation is the obstacle to reversibility of destructive processes.
