· Naturwissenschaften (West Germany)
The radioprotective effect of pantothenic acid, in the form of the calcium salt, was examined in white mice receiving subcutaneous injections of 0.5 mg for 7 days. In addition to the control group, which received no pantothenic acid, but which were exposed to whole-body x irradiation, one group received pantothenic acid for one week, and then after a week's interval x irradiation. A second group received pantothenic acid for one week and then were immediately exposed to x radiation. A third group received the pantothenic acid for one week immediately after x irradiation. The survival rate for 30 days was determined, and the results show that the first group had the best survival rate. Pantothenic acid received after irradiation has no effect on survival. The processes responsible for the radioprotective effect of the acid were discussed. (J.S.R.)
