THE PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF DEEP BODY HYPOTHERMIA ON X-RAY INDUCED MITOTIC ABERRATIONS OF REGENERATING RAT LIVER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4645523

The protective effect of hypothermia against x ray induced mitotic aberrations of regenerating rat liver was studied. The mitotic index of control and irradiated animals was but little affected by the hypothermic treatment, whereas the effect of x rays on retarding growth (body weight) was reduced considerably by hypothermia. Furthermore, the number of x-ray-induced mitotic aberrationts in regenerating rat liver of hypothermic irradiated rats was reduced to the control values. It was concluded that this latter effect was probable owing to the extreme amoxic state rather than the concomitant hypothermia. (auth)
