Effect of Photon Hormesis on Dose Responses to Alpha Particles in Zebrafish Embryos
Photon hormesis refers to the phenomenon where the biological effect of ionizing radiation with a high linear energy transfer (LET) value is diminished by photons with a low LET value. The present paper studied the effect of photon hormesis from X-rays on dose responses to alpha particles using embr...
