The postradiation radiosensitivity of rats following partial external irradiation of the abdominal area

After double partial X irradiation of abdomen the postirradiation radiosensitivity of mongrel male rats was studied by the criterion of a median lethal dose; clinical and laboratory parameters were investigated after preirradiation with 4.6 and 8 Gy. A function is proposed linking the dynamics of the postirradiation radiosensitivity of rats with the proliferative activity of small intestine and its total cellularity.
