Popis: A marked seasonal dynamics of the mitotic activity of duodenal epithelium is shown in hibernating red-cheek sousliks (Citellus erythrogenys). These seasonal variations are absent inSciurus carolinensis, a closely related nonhibernating species. During hibernation, the mitotic index of souslik epitheliocytes is lower than during the summer period; however, during periodic spontaneous awakenings, a considerable rise of this index takes place, due to the activation of proliferative processes.
