Abstract:SummaryHuman erythrocytes suspended in an isotonic Na-phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 (hematocfit 2 %) were exposed under air to gamma radiation at a dose rates of 2.2 kCry-h "l and 4.2 kGy.h "1. The dose-response curves for hemolysis of erythrocytes indicated that the process of hemolysis is inversely related to the dose-rate. At both dose-rates we observed a reduced level of hemolysis, when erythrocytes were irradiated with a split dose (0.4 kGy + 2.3 kGy with an interval time between the subsequent exposures from … Show more
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.
