EFFECT OF ANOXIA ON GUINEA PIGS SUBJECTED TO A SEMILETHAL DOSE OF ROENTGEN RADIATIONS. I. STUDY ON SURVIVAL, BODY WEIGHT, WEIGHT VARIATIONS, AND HISTOLOGICAL CHANGES OF SOME ORGANS (in Italian)

Anoxic guinea pigs were exposed to a dose of 360 x rays, corresponding to LD/sub 50/30/ days for the strain used. Observations were made of survival, variations in body weight, and histological changes in the liver, spleen, and testes. Anoxia failed to provide effective radiation protection demonstrable by the method used. Experiments of the same nature recently made on guinea pigs using different research methods showed even more clearly that anoxia does not protect guinea pigs from radiation damage. (auth)
