THE RELATION OF RADIATION INJURY TO NUTRITION IN MICE SUBMITTED TO WHOLE- BODY LD$sub 50$ X-RAY IRRADIATION
The relation of radiation injury to the qualitative and quantitative changes of nutrition was studied in mice. From the qualitative standpoint of nutrition, the high protein, high casein, and butter diet showed a degree of radiation protection in the changes of the peripheral blood, changes of body weight, and survival rate. The carbohydrate diet showed some effect in radiation protection and recovery. Quantitatively a low caloric diet was conducive to radiation injury and the high caloric diet showed protection and recovery effects in changes of the peripheral blood and body weight which is proportional to the number of calories. The decrease of caloric intake after irradiation showed an undesirable effect on recovery. (Absts. Japan. Med., 1: No. 7, 1960.)
