EFFECTS OF WHOLE-BODY X IRRADIATION ON THE PRINCIPLE CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF GUINEA-PIG LIVER (in French)

In the guinea pig, the LD/sub 50/30/ varies according to the type of vegetables fed in the diet. Following whole body irradiation to a LD/sub 50/30/, deposition of excess neutral fat occurs in the central zone of the liver lobule at the time of the acute phase of the radiation syndrome. A drop in liver glycogen and an increase in liver water are observed concomitantly. These changes are abscopal and transitory effects of x radiation on the liver. X-ray anemia alone is unable to produce a fatty liver in the guinea pig. (auth)
