THE INFLUENCE OF X-RAYS ON THE ACTIVITY OF DESOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID IN THE URINE, SERUM, BONE MARROW, AND SPLEEN OF THE NORMAL AND SPLENECTOMIZED RAT (in French)
The spleen is one source of desoxyribonucleic acids. The modifications of the activity of this enzyme in the blood serum, urine, bone marrow, and spleen was studied as a function of the x-radiation dose received by the rat and of the time after irradiation. After 400 r there is an increase of the enzymatic activity in the blood serum and the urine. The spleen activity is increased only after 500 r. 100 r causes an increase in the bone marrow. Splenectomy alone produces increased enzyme activity in the urine, blood serum, and bone marrow, but irradiation does not affect the activity in the splenectomized animal. Spleen extract of young rats, injected immediately after splenectomy, shows an inhibitory effect with respect to desoxyribonucleic acid in the bone marrow. (tr- auth)
