Male rats of paternal generation were exposed to radiation by incorporated radionuclides during 45 days and the total absorbed doses (TAD) of males D3, D2 and D1 groups were 3, 9 and 94 mGy in gonads. Offspring from fathers with TAD 3–9 mGy had nothing changes in reproduction. But breeding potential of offspring from fathers with TAD 94 mGy was decreased on 41,3 %. Part of sibs was irradiating in the same dose as their fathers (TAD ∼= 4 mGy) since 2–2,5 mounth to 6–6,5 month old. The decrease (on 58,3 %) of fertility of irradiated in first generation animals (group RA-F1-Control) was found. Breeding potential of irradiated progeny of irradiated fathers was come to normal and was better than of their unirradiated sibs. Discovered changes maybe reflects the adaptation of reproductive function of offspring of irradiated parents to conditions of chronic irradiation in low doses.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Problems of Endocrine Pathology}, author={Karpenko, N.
