FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ON THE EFFECT OF X-IRRADIATION ON THE GLYCOGEN CONTENT AND HISTOLOGY OF THE RABBIT RETINA
The heads of groups of New Zealand white male rabbits were exposed to 3000 r, 4000 r, 5000 r, 6000 r, 7000 r, and 10,000 r of x irradiation. Another group of rabbits received 6000 r of head irradiation with one eye shielded by lead. The maorphological changes and glycogen content were studied. Glycogen accumulated in the outer nuclear layer of the retina in all irradiated groups except the 3000-r group. This accumulation was associated with morphological changes suggestive of cell death. Shielding one eye with lead completely protected that eye from these changes. The relation of this glycogen accumulation to the accumulation of liver glycogen after whole-body irradiation was discussed. (auth)
