The results are presented of a study of the content of the nonprotein SH- groups in the liver and spleen of white rats soon after the total x-ray irradation in the lethal doses. The changes of the nonprotein SH-groups content was studied in the same organs after the administration of the high protective doses of L-cysteine with the subsequent irradiation or without it. The SH-groups content in the mentioned organs was not above the limit of the biologic scattering in rats to which L-cysteine was administered. In L-cysteine treated and subsequently irradiated rats an increased rate of reduction of the SH-group content was noted in the liver and spleen soon after the irradiation. In doubling the minimal lethal dose of the irradiation almost no effect was noted on the rate of reduction of the non protein SH-groups in the liver and spleen of rats treated with the high L-cysteine doses.
