K. Rana et N. Malhotra, MODIFICATION OF RADIORESPONSE OF CHICK SPLEEN WITH VITAMIN-E TREATMENT, National Academy Science Letters, 18(5-6), 1995, pp. 115
Seven days-old white leghorn male chicks were exposed to 2.25 Gy whole
body gamma radiations with and without vitamin E and studied for hist
opathological changes in the spleen for a period of 28 days postirradi
ation. The results reveal that the radiation-induced depletion of lymp
hocytic population in the lymphoid region and the damage to the tissue
architecture is comparatively less and reparation of the spleen faste
r in the vitamin E treated irradiated chicks.
