An investigation of the single and combined effects of hypogravity and ionizing radiation on brain monoamine metabolism and rats’ behavior

CONCLUSIONSWe received the first evidence of interferential interaction between the effects of ionizing radiation and hypogravity factors with regard to a behavior and monoamine turnover in the brain. Further studies with heavy nuclei at relevant doses (<0.5 Gy) are needed.
