Abstract
Investigations were made to determine the roles that cold and X-irradiation played upon the biological retnetion of cesium-137 (Cs137) in rats. Partial and whole-body X-irradiation increased the retention time, while cold decreased the retention time. Analysis of fecal and urine outputs showed that increased diuresis does not invariably facilitate Cs137 excretion. The possible roles of food ingestion and fecal output were discussed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
