Radioprotection of chick thymus by vitamin E.

Abstract:

:One day and 7 days old male white leghorn chicks were administered vitamin E prior to their exposure to sublethal dose (2.25 Gy) of gamma radiation from 60C source. The results show that vitamin E helps in faster recovery of damage in chick thymus caused by irradiation.
