[Effect of the gaseous hypoxic mixture GHM-10 on the radiosensitivity of the fetus and the development of offspring].

A gas hypoxic mixture containing 10 percent of O2 and 90 percent of N2 was shown to exert a radioprotective action on pregnant rats and young rats of the first generation if animals were exposed to ionizing radiation during the periods of preimplantation, organogenesis and fetus development. The effect depended on the radiation dose and the period of the intrauterine development of fetus.
