Administration of esters of certain unsaturated fatty acids, i.e., methyl oleate, and methyl stearate, within an hour following whole-body x irradiation of male mice at 625 rSTALD/sub 50/(3O)!, accelerated the rate of cellular regeneration in the testes of these animals when compared with the untreated x-irradiated ones, on the 30th day postirradiation. On the other hand, esters of certain other unsaturated fatty -acids adversely affected the rate of cellular regeneration in the testes of x-irradiated mice. These differences may, in part, be due to differences in the composition of the esters of unsaturated fatty acids used in these experiments. There are indications that lipid therapy, by restoring the cell functions, accelerates the rate of cellular regeneration in the x-irradiated animals. (auth)
