Effect of Electroconvulsive Shock on Polysomes of Rabbit Brain, Liver, and Kidney

Abstract
Following electroshock treatment of the rabbit, polysomes disaggregated in the liver and kidney to an extent comparable with disaggregation in the cerebral cortex. After a single electroconvulsive shock the process of polysomal disaggregation in the former 2 organs reached maximum values at 10 and 60 min, but returns to control values at intermediate times. In the cerebral cortex the shift to control values at 20 min was not statistically significant.
