Abstract
Mass loss in the mouse testis per unit of absorbed dose was used as a means of comparing acute external with protracted internal whole body irradiation. The external and internal sources were X-rays and 22Na, respectively. The absolute dose to the testis from 22Na was estimated. The effects of acute and protracted radiation on the integrated loss in mass in the testis per unit of absorbed dose are similar.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
