Plasma corticosterone secretion in rats after irradiation

Abstract:
In this material it was confirmed that the irradiated rats present a two-phase corticosterone hypersecretion. The responses are greater to higher doses of irradiation (700 R as compared with 500 R). The postirradiation hyperglycemia is not correlated with the corticosterone hypersecretion, having its peak value a day before.
