Chernobyl frogs exposed to radiation show no signs of accelerated aging or increased stress hormone levels

Summary

Nutrition label

76% Informative

Radiation levels experienced by the frogs living in Chernobyl have not affected their age or their rate of aging.

These two traits do not differ, in fact, between specimens captured in areas with high levels of radiation and those living in control areas without radiation.

No differences were found in the levels of corticosterone, a hormone associated with the response to stress, depending on the radiation received by these amphibians.
