Nitrogen Balance in Whole Body X-Radiation
- Case Western Reserve Univ., Cleveland, OH (United States)
Rats that die following whole body x-radiation have a marked initial and terminal loss in weight. Little food is consumed during these periods. The present study was designed to determine whether the decrease in weight is due merely to starvation or if there is, in addition, evidence of alteration in metabolism. This was done by comparing the nitrogen balance of rats given whole body x-radiation with that of non-radiated control animals receiving the same quantity of food.
