CHANGES IN THE RADIOSENSITIVITY OF THE TESTIS DURING FOETAL DEVELOPMENT

Journal Article · · Intern. J. Radiation Biol.
Pregnant rats were anesthetized and exposed to doses of 25 to 2 x 100 r at varying times between the l3th and the 20th days of gestation, the beam being focused on the abdominal wall. The does were then allowed to give birth, and the young were killed at the age of 25 days. A quantitative histological study of the testes showed that there was a curvilinear relationship between the proportion of seminiferous tubules classified as normal and sterile, the dose to which the animals were exposed, and fetal age at the time of exposure.
