[Comparative action of X-rays and fast neutrons on thymus endocrine function].
Whole-body exposure of rats to X-rays (4, 6 and 8 Gy) and neutron radiation (1, 1.5 and 2 Gy) causes a dose-dependent inhibition of endocrine function of thymus and death of its lymphoid cells. Shielding of thymus somewhat reduces the degree and duration of inhibition of thymus hormone secretion.
