RESPONSE OF RATS FED VARIOUS DIETS TO ACUTE X-IRRADIATION. Interim Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4058522

Rats were fed a variety of bssal diets and supplements for 2 weeks before and 30 days after whole-body exposure to single doses of 700 to 1000 r of x radiation. No consistent superiority of any dietary treatment was seen using survival as the criterion. There was a tendency toward prolonged survival time in the presence of high vitamin levels and raw Brassicaceae vegetables. Scattered data on enzyme activities, morphologic characteristics and reproductive performance did not clearly differentiate diet groups. (auth)
