title: In vivo changes in the intestinal lipid peroxidation and the crypt response to whole-body gamma irradiation in diethylnitrosamine-treated mice.
abstract: Studies were carried out to elucidate lipid peroxidation and crypt survival in the small intestinal mucosa of mice pretreated per os with diethylnitrosamine (DENA) and whole-body gamma irradiated. Results show that DENA lowered the total value of mean lethal radiation dose for crypt cells, and the agent was enable to sensitize crypts to gamma-rays. Present data suggest that gamma radiation- and/or DENA-induced pro-oxidant shift(s) is a risk factor for crypt survival.
