When male mice of the Swiss-Webster and C(3)H strains are maintained on a light-dark cycle in which the light begins at 7 a.m. and ends at 7 p.m., they are more sensitive to whole body x-irradiation (800 to 900 roentgens) given at 2 a.m. than at any other time in the cycle tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
