POSTIRRADIATION CREATINURIA IN MACACA MULATTA MONKEYS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4339825
Four adult male Macaca mulatta monkeys were placed on a creatine-free diet for seven to nine days. After the urinary level of ereatine excretion had reached a plateau, the anlmals were irradiated with 1,000 rep of x rays. A creatinuria of approximately four times normal was excreted over the first four days in a pattern similar to that previously found in the rat. On the second postirradiation day the average creatinuria was about seven times normal. This effect is compared with other species reported in the literature. (auth)
