;
Attempts were made to increase the radioresistance of animals by subjecting them to hypothermia. Rats were exposed to a dose of 800 r from an x- ray apparatus, and hypothermia was produced either before or after irradiation by treatment with lobeline hydrochloride and immersion in an ice bath. Appropriate controls were set up, and in all 110 rats were used. In rats cooled to 25 to 27 deg C before irradiation, the survival time was prolonged by 3 to 4 days, and by 1 day in animals cooled to 18 to 20 deg C. The acute radiation sickness took a milder course in the cooled animals than in the uncooled controls. The survival time was prolonged by 4 to 5 days in rats cooled after irradiation to 18 to 20 deg C, and by 1 day in rats cooled to 25 to 27 deg C. (OTS)
