Rats were given whole-body x irradiation while the hind legs of the experimental animals were tied and immersed in ice water. The findings suggest combined hypothermia and ischemia of the hind legs during irradiation protected elements of the bone marrow which later contributed to th recovery of the animals from the radiation insult.
