| Abstract | ABSTRACT The effects of ultraviolet (UV-C) irradiation on the plasma total T 3 , plasma total T 4 and TSH hormones of molerats (Spalax leucodon) have been examined. 11 molerats, approximately body weight of 150-200 g were used in experiments. Before the experiments, bloods samples were taken from the animals as control. The animals were exposed to UV-C radiation for 60 days (eight hours a day). At the end of 7 th , 14 th , 21 th , 28 th , 45 th and 60 th days of study, the blood samples were taken from the experimental groups and then total plasma levels of T 3 , T 4 and TSH were determined. According to results obtained from the experiments, the total T 3 and T 4 levels in plasma showed a significant decrease (p<0.001), while TSH level significantly increased in experimental groups, compared to control. Key Words :Molerat (Spalax leucodon), Ultraviolet (UV), Total T 3 , Total T 4 , TSH. |
