Description

The effect of single neutron irradiation (2 Gy) alone and combined with continuous gamma irradiation (6 Gy accumulated during 10.5 days) was studied on the survival of rats and on nucleic acids both in the lymphoid organs and testes. After neutron irradiation alone the most profound changes in lymphoid organs and testes were found on the third and within the days 28-60, respectively. Regeneration has been undergone at a relatively fast rate. Continuous irradiation subsequent to neutron irradiation deepened only slightly the extent of the initial changes. The effect of combined irradiation manifested mainly at later times in marked slowing down of regeneration. (author)
