Zusammenfassung: | STH facilitates the maintenance of weight in animals irradiated with sublethal and minimum lethal doses of X-rays, but does not increase their survival times. Joint administration of STH, DOCA and salt solution exerts a significant influence on the weight of the animals and hastens their death. The administration of STH prior to irradiation with sublethal doses of X-rays exhibits a definite protective effect. In irradiated animals, STH increases the weight of the adrenals and normalizes the absolute weight of the endocrine glands and internal organs. In control rats, the weight of the adrenals, thyroid and testes is increased in comparison with that of the irradiated animals.
