Effect of high-frequency low-intensity irradiation on reproductive function in C57Bl/6 and randombred mice.
The effect of high-frequency low-intensity radiation on reproductive function was studied on C57Bl/6 and randombred mice. We revealed a progressive decrease in the number of offspring, prevalence of males over females in all generations, and the appearance of stillbirths. The decrease in the number of offspring was probably related to increased number of homozygotes and decreased number of heterozygotes in the population under the influence of nonthermal radiation.
