RNA and DNA changes in the bone marrow and blood of rats after neutron and continuous gamma irradiation.
Quantitative changes in nucleic acids and DNA synthesis in the bone marrow and blood were followed after a single neutron irradiation with the dose of 2 Gy alone and combined with subsequent continuous gamma irradiation up to accumulated dose of 6 Gy. The pattern of changes after neutron exposure was similar as after other kinds of ionizing radiation. Additional continuous gamma irradiation affected mainly the rate of regenerative processes.
