AGING OF RAPIDLY AND SLOWLY RECOVERING COMPONENTS OF LETHAL RADIAITON INJURY IN MICE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4771407
The effects of age and sex on the radiosensitivity of mice were studied in aninmals exposed to daily radiation doses of 12 to 170 r/day at various ages ranging from 100 to 850 days. Data are presented graphically. Results indicate that increased disease morbidity in the aging populations is the predominant factor in decreased resistance at later ages. It is concluded that the later components of the lethal radiation iniury process are like the early components in being relatively uninfluenced by age during the first half of adult life. and in showing a rapid decline toward the end of the life span, accompanied by greatly increased variability of response.
