EFFECTS OF LOW-FAT DIETS ON SURVIVAL TIME OF MICE EXPOSED TO MULTIPLE SUBLETHAL DOSES OF TOTAL-BODY X-IRRADIATION

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2307/3571033· OSTI ID:4132553

The average survival time of mice exposed to multiple sublethal doses of total-body x irradiation was significantly less on a fat-free ration than on a similar diet supplememted with 10% cottonseed oil. Methyl linoleats when incorporated at a 1% level or desiccated liver at a 10% level in the fat-free ratio also increased survivaI of x-irradiated mice over that on the fat-free diet, but hydrogenated coconut oil at a 10% level of feeding was without protective effect. The active factor (or factors) in liver was present in the liver-fat fraction obtained by azeotropic extraction with ethylene dichloride. (auth)
