| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Data from epidemiological studies for the atomic-bomb survivors indicate that risk for circulatory diseases (CDs) were associated with radiation exposure. In this study, we intend to assess the relationship between CDs and radiation exposure by animal model studies and to obtain information about biological mechanisms.
In the studies using stroke prone spontaneous hypertensive rat (SHRSP), the life span of irradiated rats was significantly shorter than unirradiated rats, and the damage, such as cerebral hemorrhage, in irradiated rats was more advanced than that observed in the organs of unirradiated rats. On the other hand, in the studies using spontaneous hypertensive rat (SHR), the systolic blood pressure level of irradiated rats increased with increasing of dose. Moreover, the amount of various blood biomarkers increased/decreased according to the radiation doses. The results revealed that our studies can play important roles to hypothesize on the mechanisms.
