THE EFFECT OF TOTAL-BODY X-IRRADIATION ON FATTY ACIDS OF TESTES OF RATS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4646597
The effect of total-body x irradiation on testicular fatty acids was studied. Total fatty acid concentration of testes of animals irradiated as adults, weanlings, or prenatally decreased along with the testicular mass. The major change in fatty acid composition in adult and weanling animals was a decrease in arachidonic acid with irradiation. Other changes included a decrease in palmitic acid with irradiation at 29 and 43 days and increases in stearic and oleic acids. Pentaenoic acids increased with irradiation significantly in one group at 22 and 29 days, followed by decreases at 43 and 62 days postirradiation. No changes were seen in gonadal fatty acid composition of offspring of rats irradiated on the 18th day of pregnancy. (auth)
