THE EFFECT OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ON THE RADIOSENSITIVITY OF THE RAT. PART I. THE GROWTH OF IRRADIATED ANIMALS AND PAIR-FED CONTROLS. PART II. THE EFFECT OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ON THE SURVIVAL OF IRRADIATED RATS. Final Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4208382
There were no significant differences in the weight gains of rats receiving 725r of total body radiation when compared with unirradiated controls pair-fed with the same streptomycin-containing synthetic diet. Dietary supplements of liver extract or of whole liver had the same effects on the weight change of irradiated and control rats. The survival of rats receiving 750r of total body radiation was slightly greater, but not significantly so on a laboratory chow diet than on a synthetic diet, but dietary supplements had no apparent effects.
