The invention includes a method to identify a method to enhance survival of a subject that has been exposed to a biological insult such as an ionizing radiation dose of LD
50/30
by treating the exposed subject with a test compound an optically comparing the results to that obtained using control subjects that had been treated with 3β,17β-dihydroxyandrost-5-ene or other disclosed compounds.
本发明包括一种方法,用于确定如何提高受到
生物损伤的受试者的存活率,如电离辐射剂量为 LD
50/30
用试验化合物处理受试者,并将结果与用 3β,17β-二羟基雄甾-5-烯或其他已公开化合物处理的对照受试者的结果进行光学比较。
