A study was made of morphological changes in the testes of 120 rats fed for 20 months only food exposed to gamma-rays. Pronounced alterative-dystrophic disorders up to foci of coagulation necrosis and aspermatogenesis as well as compensatory-adaptation processes such as proliferation of Leydig cells were found. A direct correlation was disclosed between the severity of structural alterations in the testes and the dose of gamma-rays to which the products used for animals' feeding had been exposed. A suggestion is made about the autoimmune mechanism of structural alterations discovered.
对120只仅喂食经γ射线照射食物20个月的大鼠睾丸的形态变化进行了研究。发现了明显的退行性营养不良性病变，直至凝固性坏死灶和无精子发生，以及诸如莱迪希细胞增殖等代偿适应过程。睾丸结构改变的严重程度与动物饲料所用产品所受γ射线剂量之间存在直接关联。针对所发现的结构改变的自身免疫机制提出了一种推测。
