Objective(s) of Project: To obtain information on dose dependency of mechanisms resulting in sterility Short Description: During the period June 1, 1963 to February 1, 1973, 64 volunteers at the Washington State Prison were irradiated by 250 k v p X-rays with doses of 7.5 to 400 Cell killing, mitosis halting and recovery were studied. The study was extended to determine the relationship of spermatogenesis to pituitary hormone concentrations. initiated to examine the possible protective influence to testosterone prior to the testes. studies were also Follow-up D a t a : Recovery of cell morphology and function were found after a maximun of 501 days. temporary sterility, but is very resistant to complete sterility.
