Impact peculiarities of long-term gamma-irradiation with low-dose rate on the development of laboratory rats and their sperm production.

Objective: To study the influence of long-term gamma-irradiation with low dose rate (13×10-6 cGy/s) on the body, testes and ventral prostate, development of laboratory rats, as well as quantitative parameters of sperm production along with kinetic characteristics of spermatozoa.

Materials And Methods: The experiments were performed on laboratory white rats of 2,5 months in age. Animals were irradiated in gamma-field of "Ethalon" device in a dose range 0.

Analysis of the antioxidantive qualities of sperm after total body X-irradiation of animals.

To study dynamics of natural antioxidant levels and antioxidant enzymes activities in rabbit seminal fluid in conditions of single total body X-ray irradiation in different doses. Materials and methods. Soviet Shinshilla white rabbit males 30-36 months old were taken into investigation.
