Description

The effect of sex and age of nonlinear mice on the frequency of tumours was studied. Nonlinear mice of the SHK colony of both sexes were gamma-irradiated with 137Cs. The histological material, frequency and time of tumour appearance were investigated in dependence on age. Single exposure accelerated the appearance of tumours of the hemopoietic tissue in females and lung and liver tumours in males. The irradiation increased the frequency of tumour appearance in females. The frequency of mammary gland tumours increased under irradiation of females of older age. Ovary tumours developed irrespective of mouse age by the time of irradiation. Average longevity reduced only in young females
