Comparative mathematical analysis of functional properties of mice bone marrow in the phase of recovery of colony-forming units number after sub-lethal and repeated sub-lethal irradiation

Abstract

Basing on the analysis of experimental data, reported in [N.V. Butomo et al. Radiobiologiya 28 (1988) 39], by applying original mathematical model, earlier and more intensive recovery of the number of colony-forming units of mice bone marrow was shown after repeated sub-lethal irradiation in the dose of 2.75 Gy, comparing to the recovery process of bone marrow colony-forming units after the first sub-lethal irradiation in the dose of 2.75 Gy.
