Abstract

The experiment on the study of food behavior and the dynamics of weight gain in experimental animals (rats) after single oral intake of the mixed oxide of depleted uranium (U3O8 + UO2) with water is given. It is shown that when depleted uranium enters the body, rodent eating behavior increases possibly due to direct neurotoxicity of uranium compounds, as well as impaired metabolism of neurotransmitters in a brain. At the same time, the toxic effect of uranium compounds on the organs of the gastrointestinal tract is probably the cause of malabsorption syndrome, which causes a decrease in weight gain in animals.
