CHRONIC WHOLE-BODY GAMMA RADIATION STRESS IN THE ALBINO RAT AND MOUSE
Abstract
Irradiation and the hematology studies are reported on the comparison of the effects of 20, 40 and 50 r per day in the albino rat. Investi gations are also reported on: (1) the effect of continuous and discontinuous low-intensity gamma radiation in resistance to cold stress in the albino rat, (2) effect of continuous and fractionated low-intensity gamma radiation on survival of rats given a single dose of high intensity radiation, and (3) progressive changes in the semen of albino rats subjected to radiation - a technique for the evaluation of radiation damage. Further studies are appended on: (1) effects of continuous low-intensity radiation on the cotton rat, (2) an investigation of audiogenic seizure prone rats as indicators of low-intensity chronic gamma radiation, and (3) investigation on the protective action of B aminoethylthiosulfuric acid on rats given repeated macrofractionated doses of gamma irradiation.
