The mechanism of the protective effect of compounds which are able to protect animals against the lethal doses of ionizing radiation was studied. It was demonstrated that admiristration of L-cysteine to rats provoked a reduction of the venous oxygen content in 15 to 25 minutes after the injection. This decrease was preserved in the process of irradiating the animals with the lethal dose of gamma rays (650 r). beta -mercaptoethylamine administration produced a decrease of the venous oxygen content which occurred at a later date.
