[Adaptive reactions of rat testicular endocrine cells exposed to mineral drinking waters after radiation exposure].
Early after irradiation (2 Gy) white male rats were given sulfate mineral water, sulfate mineral water with silicon, iodine-containing mineral water (iodine concentration 30 mg/l). It was found that sulfate mineral water alone or with silicon reduces the number of endocrine Leidig's cells, inhibits their functional activity, lowers blood level of testosterone. These effects were not observed after intake of iodine-containing mineral water.
