Abstract

Hybrid F1 mice (CBA × C57Bl/6) were subjected to irradiation at a nonlethal dose of 6.7 Gy that brought on acute radiation sickness. In the experiments performed, we observed the beneficial effect of combined application of quercetin injected 30–60 min prior to irradiation with γ rays and the emergent radioprotector indralin injected after irradiation on development of postradiation repair in hematopoietic tissue. This effect was expressed as accelerated formation of endogenous spleen colonies and recovery of spleen weight and attenuation of leucopenia 12 and 16 days after acute irradiation. Treatment with only quercetin was not radioprotective.
