Effect of different levels of protein and cellulose in the diet on the radiosensitivity of guinea pigs

: Investigations included 6 groups of male guinea pigs counting 50 guinea pigs in each of them. Starting from the age of 25 days the animals were kept on standard rations consisting of granulated combined fodder with diverse protein (22.8, 17.5, 13.8 per cent) and cellular tissue (11.8, 13.6, 15.7 per cent) content. The results failed to show any significant dependance of the animals' radiosensitivity on the protein and cellular tissue levels in the diet.
