11 R level in mice. These findings were confirmed in a later study (Lorenz et al. 1955). The primary hypothesis for increased median life span has been rebound regenerative hyperplasia during the early part of the exposure; in the presence of continuing injury, there is physiological enhancement of defence mechanisms against intercurrent infection. Later, Carlson and co-workers (Carlson et al. 0 R/day. 5 R/day. More recently, chronic gamma irradiation at very low-dose rates of 7 or 14 cGy/ year was shown to significantly extend the life span of female C57BL/6 mice: median survival time was 549 days in controls and 673 days in both irradiated groups (Caratero et al.
