STERIOD EXCRETION IN THE URINE FROM RATS AND GUINEA PIGS UNDER INFLUENCE OF X-RAY IRRADIATION (in German)

Journal Article · · Strahlentherapie (West Germany)
OSTI ID:4191462
A 60% increased excretion of 17-ketosteroids and a 90% decreased 17- ketogene steroid excretion was found following the irradiation of the adrenal region of healthy male rats with 1000 r. The irradiation of the head caused a protracted and prolonged increase of 17-ketosteroids of about 50%. A significant increase of the 17-ketosteroid excretion with normal distribution of the different fractions was found following irradiation of the adrenal region of healthy female guinea pigs with 150 r per day. The excretion of 17-ketogene steroids also increased significantly during x-ray irradiation. The literature about adrenal function during x-ray irradiation and tumor disease were compared with the results. (auth)
