A SEX DIFFERENCE IN MOUSE SURVIVAL UNDER DAILY GAMMA IRRADIATION, AND ITS MODIFICATION BY GONADECTOMY
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4763355
At a daily dose of 145 r/day intact young adult male mice live 88 days, about 7 days longer than intact females. Gonadectomy moves both sexes toward an intermediate survival value and reduces the sex difference to less than 3 days. The effect of gonadectomy on body weight parallels the effect on survival. The mechanisms of these effects have not been identified. (auth)
