Technical Report

OSTI ID:4058563
Young male, guinea pigs were fed a basal diet of bran and oats, with or without a daily supplement of 50 gm of raw broccoli, for two weeks before and after exposure to 400 r of whole-body x radiation. Animals were killed seqnentially for histologic and hematologic examimation. Provision of broccoli resulted in improved nutriture, larger livers with higher stores of vitamin A and minimal fatty changes, and superior gonadal development. Following irradiation in both groups, decrements in body weight and food intake as well as the characteristic events of the radiation syndrorne were seen. Broccoli supplementation of the cereal diet generally reduced the degree of distortion or delayed its appearance. (auth)
