CHEMICAL PROTECTION OF THE ALIMENTARY TRACT OF WHOLE-BODY X-IRRADIATED MICE. II. CHROMOSOME BREAKS AND MITOTIC ACTIVITY

Journal Article · · Exptl. Cell Research
The protective effect of S,2-aminoethylisothiuronium (AET) on mitotic activity and chromosome damage in intestinal crypt cells of x irradiated mice was studied. It was found that the number of chromosome fragments in the crypt cells of both treated and nontreated mice is dose dependent. In lethally x irradiated mice given AET, the number of chromosome fragments was less than that of nontreated mice. At supralethal x ray doses, AET markedly protected mitotic activity. The data indicate that in treated and nontreated mice recovery of mitotic activity was inversely related to the number of chromosome fragments. ( auth)
