Rats, anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital, given 900 roentgens of x-radiation over the entire body, survived more than 130 days when the radiation was given in the morning. The same dosage killed all the animals within 13 days when the radiation was given at night.
Livers in anesthetized rats were exposed t o 1.90 mHz, 60 mW/cm2 (spatial average) continuous wave ultrasound for five minutes. Subsequent mitotic activity was stimulated by partial hepatectomy. About thirty hours following stimulation (the time of peak mitotic activity in control animals), exposed animals had mean mitotic indices ranging from 20 t o 80% of control values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
