The mitotic rate index in albino rat cornea epithelium varies under a prolonged effect of a moderately low temperature (80 days, 5-7 degrees C): the mitosis number falls, the pathological mitosis and metaphase percentage increases with telophase percentage lowering. The changed ratio of mitosis phases and increased percentage of pathological mitoses remains 35 and 120 days after cessation of the moderately low temperature effect, which shows a persistent character of the changes occurred.
