1Mice sacrificed one day after last irradiation treatment.
2Mice sacrificed 22 days after last irradiation treatment.
Results of Statistical Analyses:
1. Liver weight: No significant differences among treatment groups.
2. Spleen weight: At early kill, groups treated with gamma irradiation show significant (p < 0.01) loss of weight compared to groups not treated with gamma irradiation. In late kill, no significant differences were detected.
