Abstract

Eighty outbred CD-I male and female mice (initial body mass of 31-34 g) and 40 male Wistar rats (initial body mass of 280-360 g) were randomly distributed into the experimental and control groups by sex and body mass. According to the results of experiments, consumption of rectified light-isotope water over 30 days immediately after irradiation by gamma-quanta 60Co at 5 Gy and 6.5 Gy can increase survivability rate significantly, accelerate hemopoiesis recovery and prevent body mass loss in irradiated animals. Therefore, light-isotope water can be considered as an effective agent for treatment of the bone marrow syndrome.
