Description

Histopathological changes due to gamma radiation in the foregut of a adult Dermestes maculatus were studied during the post-irradiation period. The radiation doses of 200 - 400 Gy produced marked degenerative changes in the foregut epithalial cells. The changes could be correlated with dose and time elapsed after exposure to radiation. The maximum damage to epithelial cells were recorded after seven days of treatment with 400 Gy. 9 figs., 1 table, 6 refs. (author)
