Remote consequences of the action of ionizing radiation on the endocrine system in female rats.
In a experiment on female rats lasting two years, the influence of total gamma radiation if a dose of 100 rad on the state of the neuroendocrine system was studied. Penetrating radiation causes a disturbance of the hormonal balance and of the sexual cycle, and, as a consequence, the development of tumors of the incretory glands and target organs.
