The uptake and retention of cesium-134 in Microtus canicaudus Miller

Creator:

Lei, Wayne

Abstract:

A study was performed to assess the uptake and retention patterns of cesium-134 in the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus Miller. To furnish a realistic source of contaminated food for the voles, wheat seedlings were raised in hydroponic solutions to provide radiocesium labeled wheat clippings. The hydroponic system was designed to...

Some possible roles for selenium in the reproductive physiology of the male graytailed vole (Microtus canicaudus)

Creator:

Whitfield, Stephen Curtiss

Abstract:

The testes of the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus Miller) exhibited a high affinity for selenium relative to other selected tissues. Uptake of selenium-75 in the testis-epididymis complex was delayed relative to uptake by the whole body, kidney, and liver. This pattern of uptake suggested that selenium was metabolically incorporated into...

Effects of fractionated radiation doses on survival times of the newt (Taricha granulosa)

Creator:

Campbell, Carol Lee

Abstract:

This was a study designed to determine the occurrence of recovery from radiation damage in Taricha granulosa. Irradiation with either gamma or x-ray sources in the range of 96-10,000 rads was given. (The mean or median survival times were determined.) Doses were fractionated and the survival times for the same...
