Fractionated low-dose exposure to ionizing radiation leads to DNA damage, epigenetic dysregulation, and behavioral impairment

Abstract excerpt

Studies of Fractionated Exposure to Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation (FELDIR) has become of increasing importance to clinical interventions. Its consequences on DNA damage, physical, and mental health have been insufficiently investigated, however. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of FELDIR on the brain using a mouse model. We addressed the levels of DNA damage, global genomic methylation, and...
