Abstract

It has been shown that in offsprings of both sex F1, one or both parents (F0) of which were exposed to X-ray radiation at a dose of 1 Gy (the dose rate was 0.4 Gy/min), and in offsprings of 6 generations (F1-F6), parents (F0) of which were placed in to the Chernobyl zone at a pubertal age, the hypertrophy and hyperactivity of isolated adrenals were observed in the different periods of life. The decrease of adrenals' reactivity in response to ACTH (0.1 ED/ml) was found in males of all generations. Most expressed damages of adrenal glands' reactivity were marked in males F6.
