ABSTRACT
Autoradiographic examinations of gingival mucosa biopsy specimens obtained from 117 subjects aged 17 to 78 have demonstrated a higher intensity of the proliferation processes in females as against men. No age-specific differences in the proliferation parameters were revealed. These data may be useful in studies of the possible disorders of the proliferative processes in various abnormalities of the buccal mucosa.

The newborn rats after 48 hours after the birth were used in the study. The prenatal hypoxia caused the development of hypotrophy. Index of labeled 3H-thymidine nuclei decreased 1.5 fold, mitotic index decreased 1.4 fold. The content of aberrant figures of mitosis increased 2.6 times. Hexapeptide injection before hypoxia reduced the alterations caused by hypoxia, the data of body and liver weight did not differ from the control level.
