ACTION OF CYSTEAMINE AND CYSTAMINE ON THE REDUCTION OF THE AVERAGE LIFE OF THE MOUSE AFTER TWO SUCCESSIVE DOSES OF X RADIATION (in French)

OSTI ID:4255012
The effects of cysteamine and cystamine on the x-ray-induced life span reduction in mice were investigated. The mice received 300, 406, 550, or 742 r administered in two separate doses five days apart. The protected animals received immediately before each radiation an injection of either cysteamine or cystamine. The results led to the conclusion that the radio protectors do not appear to decrease the extent of the delayed radiological lesions. They do not modify the acceleration of aging caused by irradiation. (J.S.R.)
