The sickness was caused by the general x-ray irradiation in doses of 400to 800 r in dogs, 1000to 1500 r in rabbits, and 750 r in rats. After the irradiation the sensitivity to insulin is considerably changed. This sensitivity shows a decline during the first 24 hours; it is greatly increased on the 5th to 25th day and remains in this condition in survived animals during the second month after the irradiation. The hyperglycemic effect of adrenalin is not changed during the latent period of this disease and is weakened during its acute stage. The glycogenolytic effect of adrenalin towards the muscular glycogen is enhanced during the acute stage of the disease. The stiunulating effect exerted by adrenalin on hepatic and myocardial glycogcnesis is distinct during this period of the disease. The pathogenetic significance of the changes of carbohydrate metabolism and its importance for the clinical picture is discussed. (tr-auth)
