title: Modification of radiation response by K and Mg aspartates in continuously irradiated rats and mice.
abstract: Monopotassium D, L-aspartate and monomagnesium D, L-aspartate, both in the solution of 500 mg in 100 ml of drinking water administered prior to, during and after the outset of prolonged continuous irradiation increased the survival of rats and mice and improved neuromuscular coordination and physical ability of mice.
