HEMORRHAGIC SYNDROME IN RATS FED IRRADIATED BEEF. Progress Report No. 4 For Period March 15, 1960 to September 15, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4054669
Further evidence was adduced to show that vitamin A and hemorrhagenicity of a given diet are closely interrelated. The present work also bears out the findings of the Illinois workers concerning the prothrombin-lowering effect of 0.5% Decanal, and the severity of hypoprothrombinemia as the result of feeding soy protein. In addition, data are presented showing that restriction of vitamin A from diets of lactating females renders nursing pups more susceptible to hemorrhage. A new assay for screening potentially hemorrhagenic diets was proposed, using adult animals. Preliminary data from examination of fractions of fresh and irradiated beef employing the new assay are presented. (auth)
