[Action of chronic gamma irradiation on chipmunks in a vivarium].
The activity, the dynamics of changes in the body mass and the weight of some internal organs of chipmunks at different physiological status were studied in normal conditions (0.86 pA/kg) and during chronic gamma-irradiation at low dose-rates (46.3 pA/kg). The stated higher indications of body mass and the lower activity of the animals from the experimental group during the hibernation period can be regarded as the favourable protective reaction of the organism to the chronic effects of gamma-irradiation with low doses.
