Radioprotective effect of a protein free parathyroid extract.
The radioprotective effect of a bovine protein-free parathyroid extract was studied in rats, being administered orally after irradiation. A significant increase in survival was found after treatment compared to conrols. It is assumed that the extract contains a new, probably as yet unknown bioactive agent responsible for the radioprotection.
