Ono, K

When the heads of mice were irradiated with 300 r, no change of the function of the gastro-intestinal tract was noted. At 600 r, 1 to 3 hr after x irradiation, the transit time was accelerated; 1 or 3 days later the transit time became slightly slower and 5 days later it returned to normal. At 1000 r, immediately after radiation, the transit time became markedly slow and 1 day later a moderate recovery was noted: 5 days later it returned to normal, and remained this way up to death. Immediately after 3000 r, the transit time became markedly slow, and 1 to 2 days later it recovered considerably. Three days later it became markedly slow and the animals died. At 30000 r, the transit time became markedly slow and within 24 hr the animals died. (Abstr. Japan Med., 2, No. 2, Feb. 1962)
