[Role of gonadotropic hormones in the radiation response of the testis].

In experiments on BALB male mice a study was made of the dynamics of changes in the level of gonadotropic hormones and testosterone during 1-32 days in conditions of gamma-irradiation with the dose of 0.155 C/kg and dose rate of 0.512 mA/kg. A correlation was found between the number of germ cells and the level of sex hormones in blood plasma of irradiated animals.
