[Radiomodifying effect of acute hypoxia in neutron-irradiated dogs].
A pronounced protective effect of acute hypoxia was demonstrated on dogs exposed to fast neutrons (4.0 Gy). Breathing of 10% gas hypoxic mixture protected more than half of the exposed animals from death and provided the development of a light form of radiation sickness instead of a serious one. Possible mechanism of the effect observed are discussed.
