One hundred and fifty-six male white rats each weighing 300 to 350 g were used. One group of animals was kept for 3 to 4 weeks on a normal laboratory diet, a second group on wheat biscuits enriched with a protein-vitamin complex, and a third group was fed wheat biscuits (representing a deficient diet). In a preparatory period prior to irradiation, it could be established that a diet of wheat biscuits enriched with a protein-vitamin complex did not influence the chemical composition of the blood, the liver, or the spleen. In animais kept on wheat biscuits alone, however, the iron content of the blood decreased by 4.8% and the globin content decreased by 10.3%. In these animals the globin contained a higher proportion of tryptophan (14%). Radiation caused a significant decrease in the globin content. The relatively higher proportion of tryptophan within the globin content in the blood of the latter group became even more marked. The blood iron level showed no significant changes. (OTS)
