Control animals kept under standard lighting conditions (photoperiod light/dark 14/10 hours). The immunohistochemical analysis (indirect avidin-biotin-streptavidin method) and morphometric assessment were used. We found in the liver cells of mice under round-the-clock lighting the increase in the area of Bcl-2 protein expression without changing the area of Bad protein expression, that led to a decrease in the ratio of Bcl-2/Bad. This result indicated weakening of the antiapoptotic protection of organ cells and creates conditions for activation of the “mitochondrial branch” of apoptosis in animal liver cells with functional pinealectomy.
