State of the hematopoietic system in rats subjected to emotional stress after low-dose chronic irradiation

Abstract

Examination of processes occurring in the hematopoietic system of rats subjected to emotional stress shortly after 30-day exposure to low-dose 7-radiation revealed the inhibitory influence of radiation exposure on the development of adaptive reactions by this system in the stressed animals.

Reaction of different functional zones in mouse thymus and spleen lymphoid tissue to γ-irradiation

“…Disturbances in the thymus and other immune systems organs induced by various types of radiation and their postirradiation recovery have been previously described in detail [ 1,5,6,12]. However, peculiarities of the reaction of different functional zones in these organs remained usually beyond the scope of these investigations.…”
