Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how injecting a bacterial solution into the uterus of rats affects progesterone (P) levels and the duration of a specific reproductive stage called diestrus.
- - Seven groups of female rats underwent different treatments, including ovariectomy and adrenalectomy, to assess changes in P levels over five days post-infusion.
- - Results showed that initial P production comes from ovaries and adrenal glands due to surgical stress, transitioning to adrenal secretion responding to uterine inflammation over time.
A single subcutaneous injection of a preparation of heat-killed Lactobacillus casei (LC 9018), given before or after irradiation, significantly increased the survival rate of mice that had received 8.5-Gy 137Cs whole-body gamma-irradiation. A similar radioprotective effect was observed when LC 9018 was administered within the period from 2 days before irradiation to 9 h after irradiation, the pre-irradiation treatment being slightly better than the post-irradiation treatment.

Whole body X-irradiation caused emesis, and the calculated ED50 value that induced emesis in 50% of animals was 429 cGy. At the irradiation dose of 800 cGy all the animals vomited 10.
