The effect of gamma rays of radioactive cobalt on the value of the high frequency and low frequency resistance and capacitance and on the dispersion of resistance of the liver tissues of white mice was studied. The action of lethal doses of gamma rays caused a decrease in the dispersion of reslstance, the low frequency resistance and capacitance and an increase in the high frequency resistance of the liver of white mice as compared with the corresponding parameters in normal animals. The experimental results suggest that in the liver of irradiated animals there occurs an increase in the amount of low molecular weight substances and a decrease in the number of free ions. With long survival of the liver of the control and irradiated white mice there was a continuous change in the electrical parameters, namely increase in the dispersion of resistance, the values for the high frequency and low frequency resistance and a reduction in capacitance. Cn prolonged survival of the liver of irradiated animals the change in the electrical parameters reached large absolute values and developed at a higher rate than for the surviving liver of the control animals; this seems to suggest intensified processes of autolysis in the tissue of irradiated animals.
