title: [Biological effects of acute external or internal irradiation of rats in the framework of nitrite intoxication].
abstract: The material presented provides evidence that high nitrite doses have a various effect under the condition of external or internal radiation. Thus, nitrite protector properties were observed in male rats exposed to external radiation using the LD50/30 while following 90Sr exposure male rats of the same age showed a higher sensitivity to the radionuclide. The nitrite combined with optimum carcinogenic 90Sr dose had a potentiating effect on both life-span shortening and increase in osteosarcoma rate in the animals.
