RBE values of d (16) + Be and d (50) + Be neutrons for chromosome rearrangements induced in mouse spermatogonia. 1977

M Pécrot, and A Léonard, and A Wambersie, and J P Meulders

The rate of reciprocal translocations induced in mouse spermatogonia by exposure to X-rays and to neutrons produced by 16 and 50 MeV deuterons has been estimated by scoring multivalent configurations in the descendant spermatocytes. In the X-irradiated group the yield of translocations increases from 2,1 per 100 cells after exposure to 100 rad to 5,7 after exposure to 300 rad. The dose-response relationship shows no statistical departure from linearity. After exposure to 50, 100 or 150 rad of d (16) + Be and d (50) + Be neutrons, the yield of translocations displays a humped curve. Up to this dose the RBE value decreases with absorbed dose and neutron energy.

D009502 Neutrons Electrically neutral elementary particles found in all atomic nuclei except light hydrogen; the mass is equal to that of the proton and electron combined and they are unstable when isolated from the nucleus, undergoing beta decay. Slow, thermal, epithermal, and fast neutrons refer to the energy levels with which the neutrons are ejected from heavier nuclei during their decay. Neutron

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013093 Spermatogonia Euploid male germ cells of an early stage of SPERMATOGENESIS, derived from prespermatogonia. With the onset of puberty, spermatogonia at the basement membrane of the seminiferous tubule proliferate by mitotic then meiotic divisions and give rise to the haploid SPERMATOCYTES. Spermatophores,Spermatogonias,Spermatophore
D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.
