Creators

Description
One of the challenging evidences are the hormetic effects of low dose radiation on the immunological function, hematopoietic potentiation, physiological survivals of whole organisms, aging and tumorigenesis. In these studies, we have tried to study the any hormetic effect of radiation induced tumors especially in low dose level. The models used in this study is a liver tumor, which has been known to develop naturally or artificially in C3H mice and its mutant strain of Csb mice. 8 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs
