The effect of kanamycin treatment of rats on the development of gastro-intestinal syndrome of radiation disease.
Kanamycin pretreatment through stomach tube eliminates the endotoxin producing Gram-negative bacteria of the intestinal flora and can delay the death of rats suffering from gastro-intestinal syndrome of radiation disease. Endotoxins probably play a significant role in the pathological process of the syndrome.
