Protective effect of hypoxia against radiation induced fibrosis in the rat gut

  • 1. Uppsala Univ. (Sweden)

Description

The protective effect of hypoxia, induced by degradable microspheres, against the development of fibrosis was investigated after single-dose irradiation of exteriorized rat ileum. Evaluation, based upon microscopy and analysis of hydroxyproline in protected and non-protected gut segments, demonstrated an evident protective effect at doses of 15 to 25 Gy. (Auth.)
