摘要

Four normal and five acutely irradiated male Spraguc-Dawley rats, all of the same age, were compared with respect to running wheel activity under four food deprivation schedules introduced in the following order: (a) 4 days of total food deprivation; (b) 20 days of 23-hour food depri-vation; (c) 4 days of total food deprivation; and (d) 5 days of ad libitum feeding. Irradiates were compared with controls 33 days following acute exposure to 1,050 r of Co" gamma radiation.
