[Corticosterone and testosterone in the blood of adult rats: the effects of low doses and the times of the action of ionizing radiation during intrauterine development].
Corticosterone levels in the blood and adrenal weights in adult rat males were increased after low-dose gamma irradiation during the last third of their intrauterine development; an increase of the dose decreased them. Decrease in testosterone levels and testis weights were dose-dependent. External and internal irradiation of females on the 11-14 days of pregnancy inhibited adrenals and increased testosterone levels and seminal vesicles weights in offspring. The changes of hormonal balance in adult animals depend on dose and period of ionizing irradiation during intrauterine development.
