Effect of elevated natural radioactivity on the bone marrow morphology of Microtus oeconomus Pall

Abstract

Distinctive aspects of the bone marrow morphology of the rodent Microtus oeconomus Pall are studied with respect to a level of natural alpha, beta, and gamma background radiation which is higher than normal. Microtus oeconomus Pall is found to exhibit focal myeloid and erythroid elements, and an increased number of caryocytes due to increased mitotic activity. It is suggested that the action of Microtus oeconomus Pall's hemopoesis is an evolutionary adaptation to the higher level of background radiation in the animal's environment. 10 references.
