RADIOAUTOGRAPHIC, HISTO-CHEMICAL, AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF THE EFFECTS OF IRRADIATION ON CARTILAGE AND BONE. Progress Report, February 15, 1962-January 1, 1963

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4750076

Progress is reported in tracer studies on the effects of x radiation on the intracellular synthesis of sulfated mucopolysaccharides in the epiphyseal cartilage of young rats, the fractionation of sulfated mucopolysaccharides in cartilage and bone, and histochemical studies of the metachromatic granules of epiphyseal cartilage. The uptake of tritiated proline and cytidine was studied in normal rats. (C.H.)
