RADIOTOXINS: THEIR NATURE AND ROLE IN THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECT OF HIGH-ENERGY RADIATION

Abstract

The book furnishes theoretical and experimental data on the formation of toxins in irradiated organisms and with the nature and role of radiotoxins in the biological effects of ionizing radiation. The quantitative relationships for the formation of toxins, their chemical nature, and a wide spectrum of their radiomimetic properties have moved the problem of toxins to the center of attention in the study of initial and activation mechanisms of the biological effects of ionizing radiation. The nature and properties of secondary radiotoxins which are formed with radiation sickness are investigated from the point of view of pathogenesis and radiation-disease therapy.
