EFFECTS OF RARE-EARTH NITRATE AND OXIDE ON IRRADIATED AND NONIRRADIATED RATS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4169691
Two salts of a rare-earth mixture were given to rats both intraperitoneally and subcutaneously. In addition, certain of the groups so treated received 800 r of gamma rays regardless of route of administration of the chemical. With or without irradiation, rare-earth nitrate was more damaging to the animals than rare-earth oxide. Animals which received the more soluble nitrate demonstrated diarrhea, anorexia, and fluffing. These symptoms, which were not seen in the rare-earth oxide animals, subsided in approximately 7 days. When given subcutaneously, the nitrate caused abscesses which healed in 30 days and the oxide caused nodules which disappeared slowly. Mortality was higher in the irradiated groups of animals. (auth)
