In rats exposed to whole-body x irradiation of 500 r, the weight of the digestive tract tissues gradually decreased, especially that of the small intestine. This returned to approximately normal after 6 to 8 days. In rats receiving both whole-body x irradiation of 500 r and partial exposure of 100 r over the adrenal region, the weight of the digestive organs increased. In rats treated with DNP or ATP before total-body irradiation, the results were similar. (Abstr. Japan. Med., 1: No. 1, 1960)
