  • Title: Early post-radiation changes of red blood cell shape in rats.
    Author: Zharskaya VD, Chukhlovin AB.
    Journal: Scanning Microsc; 1996; 10(1):279-83; discussion 283-4. PubMed ID: 9813612.
    Abstract:
    Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of red blood cells in whole blood samples from rats was performed following acute gamma-irradiation of animals with 0.25 to 1 Gy. Increased incidence of echinocytosis was observed and found to be dose- and time-dependent. At a higher radiation dose (1 Gy), echinocytosis was revealed within 5 minutes after treatment and persisted up to 3 weeks. The data demonstrate the applicability of SEM for detecting minimal radiation-induced lesions of red blood cells.
