Exacerbation of autoimmune thyroiditis by a single low dose of whole-body irradiation in non-obese diabetic-H2^h4mice

Abstract

These results indicate that a single whole-body low-dose irradiation with 0.5 Gy exacerbates thyroiditis in NOD-H2(h4) mice, data consistent with some clinical evidence for increased incidence of thyroid autoimmunity by environmental irradiation.
