摘要
The induction of micronuclei in mouse bone marrow was studied after whole-body exposure to low doses of gamma radiation, ranging from 5 to 75 cGy. Micronuclei were scored at 10 and 30 h after irradiation. A linear dose response was obtained at both postirradiation times. However, the number of micronuclei per 100 nuclei was lower at 30 h than at 10 h, and the dose - response curve for the former had a shallower slope. When fitted to the αD + βD2 model, a negative β value was obtained. This could be due to division delay, combined with elimination of damaged cells by death at higher doses. © 1990 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
