THE EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATIONS ON THE BIOCHEMISTRY OF MAMMALIAN TISSUES.

Abstract

Contents: The effects of Ionizing Radiations on the Biochemistry of Mammalian Tissues: (1) Studies on the Toxicity and Mechanism of Action of 2-Mercaptoethylamine, (2) Further Studies on the Inhibitory Effect of Xradiation on the Development of Microsomal Enzymes of the Liver, (3) Further Studies on the Adenosine Triphosphatase Activity of the Hematopoietic Tissues of Rats Exposed to Cobalt-60 Gamma Radiation; Pharmacological and Toxicological Compounds as Protective or Therapeutic Agents Against Radiation Injury in Experimental Animals: (1) Dose-Mortality Relationships for Several Radioprotective Agents, (2) Microscopic Findings in the Spleens of Mice Given Dimethyl Sulfoxide or Other Chemical Radioprotective Agents Prior to Lethal Whole-Body X-ray Exposure, (3) Relationship Between Spleen Oxygen Tension and Radio-protection with p-Aminopropiophenone (PAPP) in Mice; The Influence of Exposure to Low Levels of Gamma and Fast Neutron Irradiation on the Life Span of Animals: (1) Hyperbaric Oxygen Exposure and Radiation Mortality in Animals.
