THE UPTAKE OF P$sup 32$ BY THE PITUITARY AND ADRENAL GLANDS OF THE RAT FOLLOWING X IRRADIATION
The influence of ACTH on phosphorus uptake when x rays were used as a stressor was investigated. Both hypophysectomized and nonhypophysectomized rats were used. The uptake of P/sup 32/ by the adrenal glands and the hypophysis was determined for a period of 72 hrs following irradiation. In comparison with normal controls, the uptake of P/sup 32/ by the adrenal glands of nonhypophysectomized rats 1 hr after irradiation was increased; at 24 hrs after irradiation returned to normal values; at 48 hrs it was slightly increased; and at 72 hrs it became markedly increased. No changes in concentration of P/sup 32/ in the anterior pituitary of the irradiated rats were ever observed. The same applies to the adrenal glands of hypophysectomized rats irradiated for the same time period. (auth)
