EFFECT OF THE SEROTONIN-CREATININE SULFATE COMPLEX ON THE ACTION OF ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION ON PLANARIANS (Dugesia dorotocephala)

Resumen

Populations of planarians were exposed to a wide range of UV, doses in order to analyze the possible protective effect of 5TH. In contrast to the results obtained with low and high LET ionizing radiations, 5TH did not protect planarians against UV radiations either at the level of LD_50/60 or in the general behavior of the dose-mortality curve. The cause of this is attributed to the different ionizing and excitation mechanisms of the radiation.
