[The irradiation consequencees of animals with alloxan-induced diabetes].

The effects of external acute irradiation at dose 1.0 Gy on biologic, haematologic and metabolic changes in blood of alloxan-induced diabetic rats were studied. It was found that the deterioration of diabetic animals occurs in different terms after irradiation exposure, resulting in considerable body weight decrease, well-marked hyperglycemia, abrupt falling of leukocytic system parameters, intensification energetic processes of extant lymphocytes, imbalance of lipid metabolism and thyroid state, as well as significant inhibition of 5'-deiodinase activity in liver tissue.
