Abstract:
We studied the effects of sodium succinate on the reproductive system and blood leukocyte count in rats 30 and 60 days after fractionated irradiation in a dose of 1 Gy. Sodium succinate in concentrations of 0.2 and 0.5% was given ad libitum with water before (1 week) and during irradiation (5 days). The preparation promoted morphofunctional recovery of the testes and epididymides and restored the count of peripheral blood leukocytes.
