Genetic Effects of Strontium-90 injected into Male Mice
The genetic effects of strontium-90 and cesium-137 injected into male mice were compared. Injections with cesium-137 had no demonstrable effect as regards intrauterine death. The strontium-90 injections show a marked increase in intra-uterine deaths compared with its control and reaches a peak in the third week after injection, but approaches the control during the fifth week. This indicates that strontium ions penetrate the sperm and exchange with calcium ions. (H.G.G.)
