OSTI ID:4089713
A protection effect in the sense of an increased surwival rate is attained by means of a splenectomy on white mice 14 days before a sublethal whole- body radiation. This protective effect is raised through the simultaneous administration of adenosinetriphosphoric acid before the radiation ard lessened through the administration of serotonin. A part of the increased excretion of taurine determined in the urine of the animals following a sublethal whole-body radiation is probably due to the influencing and damaging of the spleen. (auth)
