ADENINE NUCLEOTIDE CONTENT OF RATS AFTER WHOLE-BODY IRRADIATION (in German)

Journal Article · · Strahlentherapie (West Germany)
OSTI ID:4140642

The contents of various organs of the rat of adenosinetriphosphate (ATP), adenosinediphosphate (ADP) and adenosinemonophosphate (AMP) show changes following whole body irradiation of 800 r, characterized by a decrease of ATP, an increase of AMP and constant ADP. The changes are not considerably more marked in the liver following irradiation of 3000 r, but significantly more marked in kidney and spleen. In the liver of loirs (glis glis) similar changes of the adenine nucleotides can be observed if the animals are irradiated awake. Hibernating animals showed no radiation damage, however. The characteristic changes of the adenine nucleotides appeared after the animals were roused. (auth)
