POSTIRRADIATION CREATINURIA IN MACACA MULATTA PRIMATES
Abstract
Macaca mulatta primates irradiated by Co60 gamma rays in three groups of four animals each to dose levels of 2,000, 4,000, and 6,000 rads showed marked creatinuria. Refinement of the fluorometric determination of creatine based on the reaction of ninhydrine with creatine in alkaline media has been achieved. Interfering guanido compounds calculated on a creatine equivalence constituted from unmeasurable amounts to approximately 10% of the total creatine in samples containing a small amount of creatine.
