  • Title: Hyperthermia increases chromosome breakage and loss induced by fission neutrons in Drosophila melanogaster.
    Author: Mittler S.
    Journal: Mutat Res; 1984 Mar; 139(3):119-21. PubMed ID: 6422290.
    Abstract:
    Pretreatment with hyperthermia did significantly increase the breakage and chromosome loss induced by 0.85-MeV fission neutrons from the JANUS biological research reactor in spermatozoa, early and late spermatids and spermatocytes. Radiation-induced breakage of chromosomes was also enhanced by hyperthermia in early spermatogonia.
