Ovaries in mice exhibit a much stronger radiosensitivity than ovaries in Macaca mulatta monkeys. Doses of 50 r have a sterilizing effect on ovaries in mice while in Macaca mulatta monkeys the initial depressing action on follicles begins at 100 r. Moreover, the disturbance of primozdial follicles in monkey ovaries is about 15 times weaker than in mice. Irradiation of monkey ovaries with 100 r stimulates the development of multilayer follicles and graaf bubbles. Due to the low radiosensitivity of Macaca monkey ovaries to sterilization by follicle depression, the radiogenetic danger is higher than in mice. (R.V.J.)
