  • Title: [The dosage thresholds for disordered physical work capacity in mice and rats following irradiation].

    Journal: Radiobiologiia; 1989; 29(3):379-83. PubMed ID: 2762529.
    Abstract:
    Physical efficiency of mice and rats at early times following irradiation with doses of 35 to 200 Gy was estimated by the muscle endurance and motor coordination indices. A threshold nature of the effects was exhibited at high doses. For instance, as large as 40 Gy was the dose threshold at which stability in the accomplishment of the known operations was impaired; at 70-100 Gy, the accomplishment decreased down to 50% of the initial level, by the 2nd hour after irradiation, with the subsequent partial restoration; 200 Gy was the threshold dose at which the disturbances were irreversible. These values were also similar to those of the threshold doses at which clinical picture of the affection was changed.
