The rate of glycogen synthesis and decomposition in livers of rats during the first hours following irradiation was investigated. The experiments were carried out with young rats weighing 100 g and mature ones of 200 g. The increase of glycogen level in livers of both groups after exposure was caused by slowed decomposition and increased synthesis of glycogen. Alterations in the glycogen exchange occurred immediately after exposure to lethal doses of filtered and non-filtered x radiation. The observed increase of glycogen acts as peroteanctive measure and indirectly indicates the early appearance of toxic matter after exposure. (R.V.J.)
