THE LIPID SYNDROME IN MAMMALIAN RADIOBIOLOGY WITH EMPHASIS ON POSTIRRADIATION PROTECTION OF ANIMALS WITH LIPIDS (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4030225
Results are reviewed from studies which showed conclusively that post- irradiation olive-oil treatment approximately doubles the survival of mid- lethally irradiated male mice. Olive oil is still beneficial when administered to animals 24 hr after whole-body irradiation. The efficacy of a number of other fatty materials against x radiation was tested to determine whether this protective effect was peculiar to olive oil. Among these, methyl oleate, triojein, and peanut oil were equally effective as olive oil. Safflower oil fortified with antioxidant was also beneficial. Methyl stearate is considered dietarily unessential, but it too was helpful. On the other hand, methyl palmitate was ineffective. Data are tabulated. 428 references. (auth)
