THE PROTECTION ACTION OF HEROIN ON THE EMBRYOS OF WHITE MICE AFTER WHOLE- BODY IRRADIATION OF THE MOTHER (in Russian)
The article presents results of experiments on the use of heroin in the protection of white mice embryos from gamma rays (Co/sup 60/ in whole-body irradiation of the mother. Single total irradiation of females (200 r) was instituted on the 9th and l2th day of pregnancy. Heroin was introduced to gravid females subcutaneously (5 mg) 5 minutes before the irradiation. The protective action of heroin was manifested by: a) reduction of prenatal death of embryos -a decrease of the number of cases of resorption and increase of the quantity of micc in a litter; b) a drop of neonatal mortality (stillbirth and death immediately after birth); c) a diminution of postnatal mortality; and d) normalization of the growth of animals and a decrease of the number of monstrosities.
