CHANGES OF THE CONTENT OF LIPOIDS, CHOLESTEROL, AND ASCORBIC ACID IN THE ADRENAL CORTEX OF RATS AFTER AFFECTION WITH POLONIUM OR X-RAY IRRADIATION (in Russian)

Journal Article · · Med. Radiol
OSTI ID:4123261
After affection of rats with polonium (0.06 mc/kg), the content of lipoids and cholesterol in the adrenal cortex at the initital stage of the radiation process (3rd to 5th day) increased and that of the ascorbic acid decreased. At the peak of the disease (7th to 15th day) the lipoid and cholesterol content sharply dropped in all zones of the cortex, while that of the ascorbic acid rose. On the 2Oth day the general content of lipoids and cholesterol was the same, whereas the ascorbic acid level was somewhat lower than in normal animals. After x-ray irradiation (350 r) the above changes were marked to a lesser degree and developen somewhat earlier than following polonium inJury. No lipoids or cholesterol were found in the adrenal cortex on the 20th day following irradiation with a dose of 600 r. (auth)
