CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF IMMEDIATE AND EARLY X-RAY REACTIONS WITH REGARD TO CHEMOPROTECTION. VI. RANDOM LIBERATION OF BIOGENIC AMINES AS A CAUSE OF EARLY IRRADIATION EFFECTS

Doses of 1,000 r x radiation induced the liberation of serotomin and of adrenalins from suspended uterine horns of estrous rats pretreated with 5-OH tryptophan. After this pretreatment the uterine content of bound serotonin showed an increase, but the free form did not rise to concentrations effecting immediate contracttons. Data are tabulated. It is concluded that the early reaction to irradiation is activated by the random liberation of active chemoprotective substances. (C.H.)
