Abstract:
Due to the improvement of field method of oxygen consumption measuring, the instrument to realize simultaneous determination of micromammals heat production has been elaborated. These investigations estimated that the irradiation of mice at the dose of 3 mGy/hour caused the increase of heat production for 11.4%. Injection of radioprotectors increases the animals' heat production with the simultaneous decrease of oxygen consumption.
