AB - Hormesis is the generally-favorable biological responses to low exposures to toxins and other stressors. Radiation
hormesis is the theory that ionizing radiation is benign at low levels of exposure, and that doses at the level of natural
background radiation can be beneficial. The purpose of this study is to reveal the hormetic effect of low-dose radiation
of ionizing radiation on the ovarian follicles of 4-week old female mice. Mice were grouped into control group, 2 cGy
irradiated group, 2 cGy and 2 Gy irradiated group (2 cGY pre-exposure group), and 2 Gy irradited group.
Mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation 24 hours after irradiation, removed ovaries, fixed in neutral
formaldehyde solution for 24 hours, embedded with paraffin, stained with hematoxylin and eosin and TUNEL
immunohistochemically, and observed light microscopically the atretic follicles and normal follicles in various
follicular developmental stages.
In this experiment, the ratrio of atretic follicles to entire follicles in an ovary increased significantly in 2 Gyirradiated
group compared with 2 cGY pre-exposure group, and the ratio of normal follicles to the entire follicles in an
ovary in all the developmental stages were increased significantly in the 2 cGY pre-exposure group compared with 2
Gy-irradiated group. These results mean that low-dose radiation pre-exposure can induce the hormetic effect in the
developing ovarian follicle.
