THE PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF CYSTEAMIN UPON THE POST-IRRADIATION STERILITY OF YOUNG RATS EXPOSED TO SUBLETHAL DOSES OF X-IRRADIATION AND SOMATIC CHANGES IN THE FIRST GENERATION

OSTI ID:4158988
The influence of sublethal doses (600 r) of x rays on the reproductive ability of infantile rats treated with cysteamine was studied. The results show that cysteamine has no protective effect on females but that the effect is significant on males and is accompanied by a considerable fertility. The progeny of the first generation both of irradiated males and normal females shows a high mortality rate just after their birth, and considerable stagnation in growth and body weight. (auth)
