[Splitting of phase G1 of the mitotic cycle of guinea pig large intestine crypt cells].

Changes in shape of the second wave of the labeled mitoses curve previously observed by Rowinski and Sawicki (1972) for three crypt zones of three different parts of guinea-pig ascending colon are explained by the complicated branching structure of the G1-phase. This structure is assumed to be the same for different crypt zones and for different sections of the intestine. Changes in shape of the second wave of the labeled mitoses curve are explained by the changes in distribution of proliferating cell stream between the alternative directions at the points of branching of the G1-phase, depending on the crypt zone, the intestine section, the cell state, and on the state of intestine.
