Hormesis, hypotheses and facts
Description
In August 1985, a conference has been held in Oakland, California, U.S.A., on the subject of radiation hormesis. There were many conference papers that only presented the theoretical aspects, or built up a hypothesis on the basis of data that are insufficient from the scientific point of view; but there were also papers showing quite reasonably that under certain conditions, low-dose radiation may initiate a protective mechanism in various cell systems against recurrent radiation exposure. Also, direct, stimulating effects have been reported. The contribution in hand summarizes some essential findings reported at this conference and presents some further considerations and data of the authors. (orig./MG)

Im August 1985 fand in Oakland, Kalifornien, USA, eine Konferenz ueber Hormesis durch ionisierende Strahlen statt. Unter den Beitraegen waren zahlreiche, welche nur theoretische Ueberlegungen brachten, oder Vermutungen mit wissenschaftlich unzureichenden Daten anstellten, waehrend andere wiederum offensichtlich darlegten, dass unter bestimmten Bedingungen kleine Strahlendosen gegenueber erneuter Strahleneinwirkung in verschiedenen Zellsystemen einen Schutzeffekt ausloesen koennen; auch wurde von direkt stimulierenden Wirkungen berichtet. In diesem Beitrag werden einige wesentliche Ergebnisse dieser Konferenz referiert und zudem weitere Vorstellungen und eigene Daten besprochen. (orig./MG)Additional details
