The influence of x irradiation by a sieve method on liver catalas~ was observed and compared with a conventional method. Adult male rabbits were exposed to 800 r of x rays by a conventional method and to 2,000 r by a sieve technique. Liver catalase was measured by Nakahara-Fukuoka's method using Batteri-Stern's apparatus. In both sieve and single irradiation techniques liver catalase was decreased after the irradiation reaching its minimum in 48 hr, followed by gradual recovery. It was evident that the decrease of liver catalase was nearly parallel to the dose and that the decrease after the sieve irradiation was less than after the conventional single exposure, despite the fact that the average x-ray dose given by both methods was physically the same.
