“…Mice injected with 137 CsCl 2 show distinctly different
metabolic profiles from control mice (Goudarzi
et al, 2014b) at 2 days (1.95 Gy), 5 days (4.14 Gy), 20 days (9.46
Gy), and 30 days (9.91 Gy) post injection. While some markers were previously
identified with either high or low dose rate external beam irradiation
(xanthurenic acid, taurine, uric acid, citrate, alpha-ketoglutaric acid,
hippuric acid, tiglylcarnitine, hexanoylcarnitine,) (Tyburski et al, 2008, Tyburski et al, 2009, Laiakis et al, 2012, Goudarzi et al, 2014a, Chen et al,
2016) and therefore do not reflect a specific internal emitter
signature, others such as tiglylglycine, isoleucine/leucine, isovalerylglycine,
and isethionic acid were specific for 137 Cs. Urinary analysis from
mice exposed to 85/90 SrCl 2 , which is known to deliver most
of the dose to the skeleton and bone marrow, also validated low dose rate
markers (xanthurenic acid, riboflavin, tiglylcarnitine, hexanoylcarnitine, and
retinoic acid) (Goudarzi et al, 2015c).…”
