Journal Article · · Med. J. Osaka Univ.
OSTI ID:4161189
Rats whose intestines were protected from gamma radiation lived more than two months following exposure to a single dose of 1,500 r, while rats which received 1,000 r whole-body radiation died within seven days. Rats whose exteriorized intestines were irradiated survived 800 and 1,000 r, but 60% died after exposure to 1,200 r, and all died within seven days after irradiation with a dose of 1,500 r. Rats whose abdomens were irradiated showed a high mortality. (C.H.)
