Long-term Radiation Signal Persistence in Urine and Blood: A Two-year Analysis in Non-human Primates Exposed to a 4 Gy Total-Body Gamma-Radiation Dose.

ABSTRACT: National security concerns regarding radiological incidents, accidental or intentional in nature, have increased substantially over the past few years. A primary area of intense planning is the assessment of exposed individuals and timely medical management. However, exposed individuals who receive survivable radiation doses may develop delayed effects of acute radiation exposure many months or years later. Therefore, it is necessary to identify such individuals and determine whether their symptoms may have been initiated by radiation and require complex medical interventions. We previously developed early response metabolomic biosignatures in biofluids from non-human primates exposed to a total body gamma radiation dose of 4 Gy (up to 60 days). A follow-up of these animals has been ongoin
