COMPOSITION OF THE PERIPHERAL BLOOD OF PRENATALLY IRRADIATED WHITE RATS (in Russian)
To establish the changes induced by ionizing radiation on the composition of peripheral white rat embryos, the anti mals were subjected to whole-body x-ray radiation of 200 r at various stages of their pregnancy which resulted in leucopenia within 24 hours. The blood of the prenatally irradiated animals was analyzed at various periods ranging from 1 to 30 days after birth for hemoglobin, erythrocytes and leucocytes. The results indicated a sharp change when the irradiation took place on the 18th day of the intrauterine development: at birth, 5 days later, and for a period afterward the animals show symptoms of radiation sickness including diarrhea, leucopenia and anemia. Irradiation before the 18th day of pregnancy seems to affect the mother; after that period it interferes directly with the bloodforming organs. (TTT)
