The behavior of the mitochondria of liver cells of rats treated with cysteamine (1O mg/1OO gr of body weight) and of rats treated with a lethal dose of x rays (800 r) over the whole body after having received a protective dose of cysteamine was studied. In both cases quantitative and reversible modifications of mitochrondria were observed. The modifications determined by cysteamine disappear about 24 hours after the administration of this drug, while the modification induced by x rays disappear sooner when the animals receive also cysteamine in comparison with unprotected rats.
