The effect of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on the radiosensitivity of the rough-skinned newt (Taricha granulosa)

Creator:

Lappenbusch, William L.

Abstract:

More than 2,000 male newts were collected during the summer and maintained unfed at 10°C both pre- and post-irradiation. Exposures ranging up to 30 kR were given with 300 kVp X-rays and ⁶⁰Co gamma rays. Half of the newts were injected (I. P.) with 15 g DMSO/kg (the maximum sublethal...

The effect of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on the
The uptake, retention, and distribution of ⁶⁰Co, ⁶⁵Zn, ⁸⁵Sr, and ¹³¹I in the rough-skinned newt (Taricha Granulosa) : A radio-ecological study

Creator:

Valett, Bryan Batson

Abstract:

The uptake, retention, and distribution of ⁶⁰Co, ⁶⁵Zn, ⁸⁵ Sr, and ¹³¹I was examined in the Rough-Skinned Newt (Taricha granulosa). Each of these radionuclides is a possible contaminant of the freshwater environment and, thus, is of importance in radioecology. The newts were maintained singly at 10° C in an unfed...
