Description

Regarding the importance of potassium in the mineral metabolism and the physiological functions of the organism the modification of the postirradiation damage by the high potassium diet was studied. The survival and some haematological parameters in mice and rats irradiated with the wholy body single and continuous gamma irradiation from Co60 source were followed. The high potassium diet was found to increase the percentage of the survived irradiated animals and to support the postirradiation recovery of some haematopoietic functions. (orig./AJ)

Abstract (German)

Angesichts der Bedeutung von Kalium fuer den Mineralstoffwechsel und die physiologischen Funktionen des Organismus wurde der Einfluss einer kaliumreichen Ernaehrung auf Strahlenschaeden untersucht. Ueberlebensrate sowie einige haematologische Parameter von Maeusen und Ratten nach Einzeldosis- und kontinuierlicher Ganzkoerperbestrahlung mit einer 60Co-Gammaquelle wurden verfolgt. Die kaliumreiche Ernaehrung erhoehte den Anteil an ueberlebenden Tieren nach der Bestrahlung und unterstuetzte die Erholung einiger haematopoetischer Funktionen. (orig./AJ)
