Nonspecific Protective Effect of Small Lead Shields Against Irradiation Death in the Rat

David F. Bohr 1, P. A. Rondell 1, L. E. Palmer 1, and Frank H. Bethell 1

1 From the Atomic Energy Commission, Biological Effects of Irradiation Laboratory, and the Department of Physiology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Rats subjected to 650 r whole body irradiation were protected and to about equal extent by shielding either skin or muscle tissue. Shielding both tissues virtually doubled the protection. It is suggested that this ability to protect against the lethal effects of whole body irradiation is not necessarily related to the primary physiologic function of the shielded tissue, but may be a potentiality of any unirradiated cell.
