[The effect of radon on the hormonal regulation of carbohydrate metabolism]. / Vliianie radona na gormonal'nuiu reguliatsiiu uglevodnogo obmena.

ABSTRACT

Wistar rat experiments provided evidence for marked inhibition of early insulin secretion after a single dose of radon water (radon concentration 200 nCi/1). Hepatocytes and activity of transaminase remained unchanged. Miners in long contact with radon in mines (radon concentration in the air of mines 1.5 nCi/1) develop long-term adaptation of the hormonal systems associated with hyperadaptosis in the system of hormonal regulation of glycohomeostasis.
