A Study of the Interaction of Co-Insult Treatments with Methylmercuric Chloride and X-Irradiation and Demonstration of a Peroxide Induced Protective Mechanism
Description:
The initial purpose of this work was to investigate the interaction of methylmercuric chloride (MMC) and X-irradiation given as a co-insult upon the rat blood-brain barrier (BBB). The indicators used to determine BBB alterations were mortality and the in vivo tissue uptake of radioactive sulfate administered as 3 5S-sodium sulfate. The results of the interaction studies indicated a neutralization of effects when MMC and X-irradiation were given together. X-irradiation as a single insult general…
