Abstract
|
|
|
|
In order to evaluate their possible subacute toxicity, the male and female of SD rats were given to 30 kGy irradiated cereal powders for three months. During the experimental periods, appearance, behavior, mortality, body weight, organ weight, and food consumption of rats fed the 30 kGy cereal powders were not affected compared to the non-irradiated control. In urine analysis, histopathological examination, hematological as well as in serum biochemical findings, no significant differences were found between the rats administered with non-irradiated control and 30 kGy cereal powders for three months. These results indicate that cereal powders irradiated at 30 kGy did not show any toxic effects under these experimental conditions.
