The level of aberrant cells in various tissues of bank vole depending on doses and radionuclide balance in organism

A regression analysis shows the direct linear relation between ¹³⁷Cs accumulation in rodents and the level of aberrant cells. For ⁹⁰Sr this trend was negative. The dose relationship was the same with ¹³⁷Cs. The trends were negative 1 month later after feeding of animals with clean food. Correspondingly the dose relationship was also negative. The levels of cells with apoptosis features were different in animals from the control and the radiocontaminated sites. The analysis has revealed the correlation between the ⁹⁰Sr content in animal body and the number of alveolar macrophages containing micronuclei. The relationship was revealed between the ¹³⁷Cs content in the animal body and the number of intestinal epithelial cells with micronuclei.
