Some nerve cells of the Auerbach's myenteric plexus of the intestine of the adult rat, which hypertrophied following a surgically induced stenosis, began DNA synthesis unrelated to mitotic division. The cytophotometric analysis confirmed and quantified the amount of synthesis revealed by autoradiography with tritiated thymidine uptake. Numerous nerve cells show a DNA content exceeding the diploid level. Only a few of these show twice the diploid content. The significance of the DNA synthesis is discussed.

Abstract
Some nerve cells of the Auerbach's myenteric plexus of the intestine of the adult rat, which hypertrophied following a surgically induced stenosis, began DNA synthesis unrelated to mitotic division. The cytophotometric analysis confirmed and quantified the amount of synthesis revealed by autoradiography with tritiated thymidine uptake. Numerous nerve cells show a DNA content exceeding the diploid level. Only a few of these show twice the diploid content. The significance of the DNA synthesis is discussed.
