We present the main results of a study of time-resolved spectra of 43 intense GRBs detected by BATSE. We considered the 4-parameter Band model and the Optically Thin Synchrotron Shock model (OTSSM). We find that the large majority of time-resolved spectra of GRBs are in remarkable agreement with the OTSSM. However, about 15 % of initial GRB pulses show an apparent low-energy photon suppression. This phenomenon indicates that complex radiative conditions modifying optically thin emission may occur during the initial phases of some GRBs.
