The glucose tolerance test (GTT) was performed in rats and in guinea pigs at several time intervals after x irradiation. In the rat an impairment of glucose utilization was observed on the eighth postirradiation day, followed by an improvement becoming more and more pronounced toward the end of the third postirradiation month. In the guinea pig the impairment of glucose utilization is much more marked with a maximum on the tenth postirradiation day. (auth)
