FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE MODIFICATION OF RADIATION SENSITIVITY AFFORDED BY COBALT

Abstract

The administration of a cobalt diet for 5 and 8 days before and for 15 days after x-irradiation increased the tolerance of female albino mice to total body x-irradiation (720 r). The administration of a cobalt diet for 36 days before and for 15 days after irradiation and the administration of a cobalt diet for 30 days beginning immediately after irradiation produced no pronounced beneficial effects.
