Abstract
The morphometric changes (size of neurons and their nuclei) of protocerebral
dorsomedial A1? and dorsolateral L2? neurosecretory neurons were analyzed in
Lymantria dispar larvae after exposure to strong static (SMF, 235 mT) and
extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF MF, 2 mT). Increase in the size
of A1? neurons and their nuclei were observed after acute exposure to SMF.
Decrease in the size of these neurons and their nuclei was observed after
exposure to ELF MF. The size of L2? neurons and their nuclei tend to decrease
after exposure to SMF and ELF MF. The quantification of protein bands within
the Mr range corresponding to the large form of the prothoracicotropic
neurohormone indicates that the amount of protein decreased after exposure to
both types of magnetic fields.
