Study investigating neurological effects and biological changes in primates exposed to krypton radiation, suggesting implications for astronaut health.
The delayed effects of high-energy krypton on neurological manifestations, biochemical, hematological and cytogenetic indices were investigated with primates as a model. Several primates developed distinct neurological reactions. Dynamics of several biochemical and hematological indices correlated with the neurological reactions. In this case, some biochemical and hematological indices deviated from the physiological norm. In primates that had no neurological reactions these changes were less evident. The data can be considered as a prerequisite for research and development of a system of protecting astronaut’s organism against the effects of galactic cosmic radiation.
