title: [Modification of the genetic effect of radiation in mice exposed in the region of the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].
abstract: A study was made of the protective effect of beta-carotine and ephasol against genetic damages in germ cells of male mice, exposed within the zone of Chernobyl NPP or ingested by 137Cs. The analysis of reproductive function, frequencies of dominant lethal mutations, abnormal sperm heads, reciprocal translocations and testis mass decrease show that both agents are more effective in protection against reproductive function damages than against genetic effects.
