Abstract:
During the radiation exposure of the body, processes similar to those characteristic of the natural aging of mammals occur. This phenomenon is most often referred to as accelerated aging. By transplanting the thymus tissue, it is possible to achieve a normalization of food and water consumption, a stabilization of weight gain, and a significant increase in the life expectancy of experimental animals, even after their lethal irradiation.
