title: [Combined effects of ionizing radiation and mercury on the central nervous system and hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenal system].
abstract: Albino male rats were subjected to a one-month whole-body fractionated gamma-irradiation with low doses and intragastric injection of mercury dichloride. The type of the cumulative biological effect on the central nervous and neuroendocrine system functions was estimated. The combined effect of the two risk factors (gamma-quanta and mercury) was shown to inhibit the function of the central and peripheral unit of the hypothalamo-hypophysial-adrenal system that was observed during the period of recovery as well.
