HEMATOLOGIC EFFECTS INDUCED BY PERIODIC EXPOSURES OF MONKEYS (MACACA MULATTA) TO GAMMA RAYS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4036888
Twenty-three monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were divided into four groups and exposed periodically to low doses of gamma rays from Cow. The irradiated groups received 154, 274, and 590 rep total dose which was divided into doses administered every four days for 40 exposures. The cellular elements of the peripheral blood, hemoglobin. and hematocrit values were sampled and enumerated at intervals postirradiation. An analysis of variance was performed on the data from those adimals surviving to 24 weeks postirradiation. These surviving monkeys re-established normal hematologic values by the end of the 24-week period. No statistically significant results were obtdined for any parameter measured which would be interpreted as a radiation effect. (auth)
