Abstract
We examined the behavioral activity of male albino rats in the open field test during an early period (up to 30 days) after total gamma irradiation (5 Gy). Irradiated rats were characterized by significantly decreased intensity of all types of motor and orientational/research activity and noticeable disorders in the emotional state. The suppression of behavioral activity was less significant in animals obtaining a carotene-tocopherol complex (CTC) with food (before and after irradiation); trends toward restoration of the indices of this activity on the 30th post-irradiation day were obvious. Thus, the use of the CTC (which contains antioxidant agents) interfered with irradiation-induced negative modifications of the behavioral motor activity and emotional state of the animals,
