It was previously shown that activation of the processes of neurogenesis in the olfactory epithelium (OE) can be caused after intranasal administration of toxic or neurotrophic factors, after axon transection, or as a result of bulbectomy. Our study showed for the first time that a significant increase in olfactory cell renewal can also occur in animals due to periodic chemostimulation with natural odorants (amino acids and peptides) for 15 days. Using electron and laser confocal microscopy in fish ( Paracottus knerii  (Cottidae), Dybowski, 1874) from Lake Baikal, we showed that periodic stimulation of aquatic organisms with a water-soluble mixture of amino acids and peptides causes stress in OE, which leads to programmed death cells and compensatory intensification of their renewal. We estimated the level of reactive oxygen species, number of functionally active mitochondria, intensity of apoptosis processes, and mitosis activity of cells in the OE of fish in the control group and after periodic natural odorants exposure. This study showed that new stem cells are activated during enhanced odor stimulation and subsequent degenerative changes in the cells of the sensory apparatus. Those new activated stem cells are located in previously proliferatively inactive regions of OE that become involved in compensatory processes for the formation of new cells.
