AMINO ACIDURIA IN PRIMATES FOLLOWING IRRADIATION
The daily urine amino N excretion of 4 monkeys was followed before and after whole body irradiation with doses in the lower lethal range. In 2 non- survivors, there was little change in the daily quantity excreted until terminally. In 2 survivors given the same food intakes as in the irradiated study and sham irradiated, the daily urine amino N excretion during the first week differed but slightly from the values after irradiation, but in the second week more amino N was excreted after irradiation in one animal and less in the other. It would appear that amino aciduria in primates irradiated with doses in the lower lethal range is inseparable from the natural response of the over-all protein metabolism associated with any injury.
