QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT NO. 52. THE EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION AND RADIATION PROTECTIVE AGENTS ON THE BIOCHEMISTRY OF MAMMALIAN TISSUES .

Abstract

Contents: Influence of X-radiation and various chemical agents on the development of a thiophosphate-oxidizing enzyme system in the livers of male rats; Influence of X-irradiation on steroid-induced increases in the activity of a detoxification enzyme in liver; Studies on the toxicity and mechanism of action of 2-mercaptoethylamine; The influence of various chemical compounds on radiation lethality in mice; Studies on tissue oxygen levels and radioprotection with anoxia and serotonin in mice; Studies on the toxic and radioprotective effects of cyclobutane derivatives; Histopathologic findings in the tissues of mice given daily X-ray exposures with or without liver shielding; Hematological and histopathological findings in the tissues of mice fed diets containing para-aminopropiophonone and the effect of daily X-ray exposure on these findings.
