Book Description
The relationship between high protein intake and increase in kidney weight was investigated in rats exposed to a single dose of 375 rad X-irradiation. Attempts were made to characterize the degree of renal hypertrophy and hyperplasia nvolved by employing irradiation as an inhibitor of cellular proliferation. Rats were fed a high protein diet and exposed to irradiation at various points of the feeding regime. The high protein diet significantly increased kidney weight in all cases but the increase was not influenced by the X-ray dose employed, or time of administration. However, histological studies of the kidneys showed that irradiation reduced the incidences of abnormal tubular hyperplasia. The renal lesions also appeared much earlier than previously reported by other investigators. Rats fed high protein diets appeared to recover body weight loss from the irradiation at a faster rate than those fed a basal diet. A possible mechanism is briefly discussed. (Author).

Health Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies
ISBN: 0309039959
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
This book reevaluates the health risks of ionizing radiation in light of data that have become available since the 1980 report on this subject was published. The data include new, much more reliable dose estimates for the A-bomb survivors, the results of an additional 14 years of follow-up of the survivors for cancer mortality, recent results of follow-up studies of persons irradiated for medical purposes, and results of relevant experiments with laboratory animals and cultured cells. It analyzes the data in terms of risk estimates for specific organs in relation to dose and time after exposure, and compares radiation effects between Japanese and Western populations.
