The Effect of Whole-Body X-Irradiation on the Langerhans' Islets in the Rat
The sublethal total-body x irradiation of the rat causes an increase in the beta / alpha -cell ratio of the insular tissue 24 hours after irradiation. The ratio decreases gradually until nearly the thirtieth day, and after that period it rises again. The first increase could be ascribed to the formation of new islets containing mostly beta -cells; the last increase, however, could be ascribed to the growth of the islets by formation of beta -cells.
