Abstract
Summary
Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of flavonoids on survival time of mice exposed to multiple sublethal doses of total body x-irradiation. Hesperidin and lemon bioflavonoid complex at levels of 2% or 4% in the diet had little if any protective effect. Naringen, hesperidin methyl chalcone and rutin at levels of 2% or 4% of the diet increased survival over that on the basal unsupplemented ration.
