Colchicine when infused directly into mammalian nerve causes extensive degeneration provided the concentration exceeds 0.01 [image] Histological studies revealed an apparently centripetal degeneration distal to the infusion site and retrograde damage extending as far as 15 mm. Degeneration in other parts of the nervous system does not occur, however, due to the diluting effect of the large body volume of the mammal. Initiation of degeneration was usually delayed beyond the time observed for Wallerian degeneration. Meso-inositol inhibited only slightly the colchicine effect, whereas ATP greatly increased it in speed and severity. Intracerebral administration of colchicine in the hamster revealed resistance to intoxication no greater than in the mouse and infusion of the sciatic produced the histopathology noted above. The known resistance of the hamster to colchicine is considered in light of these findings.
