Individual radiosensitivity and its daily variations
The effectiveness of determining individual radiosensitivity of rats by total gas exchange measurements, studies of Na/K content in urine, and the reaction of leukocytes to intra-abdominal administration of epinephrine, was studied. The most indicative results of predicting individual reaction to radiation were obtained by the leukocyte reaction to epinephrine load; however, changes in the leukocyte content of peripheral blood after epinephrine administration depended on the initial level during the day.
