EXCRETION OF DICHET-POSITIVE SUBSTANCES WITH THE URINE IN ANIMALS OF VARIOUS SPECIES FOLLOWING INJURY CAUSED BY IONIZING RADIATION (in Russian)
Following exposure to lethal doses of ionizing radiation, mice, rabbits, and dogs were noted to excrete with the urine dichet-positive substances. The amounts and dates of their discharge differed according to individual species. In mice and dogs, it took place during the first 24 hr and comprised on the average 100 and 40%, respectively. In rabbits, during the first 2 hr there was a reduction in the level of these substances in the urine, amounting to 48% and its rise became evident only at later dates following irradiation, being equal to 80% by the 3rd day and 51% by the 5th day. All the animal species under observation showed a certain parallelism in the dynamics of the dichetpositive substances excretion together with the diurnal urinary out-out and of the changes in the diuresis following their irradiation. The results of the experiments make it possible to consider the estimation of dichet-positive substances in the diurnal urinary output of the animal species examined as a convenient test for a radiation injury.
