Title: IMMEDIATE EFFECTS OF X-IRRADIATION ON THE HEART OF THE FROG

Journal Article · · Nature
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1038/195302a0· OSTI ID:4817036

The effects of whole-body irradiations on the heartbeat of pithed frogs were studied. A strong bradycardia was observed after 1 to 5 min of irradiation and is reversible within 1 min after irradiation. A sino-auricular block was observed in some cases. No response was found in any of the frogs during the cold months. The effects of atropine, physostigmine, and eserine on the response were studied. The results suggest a vagal excitation or acetylcholine liberation from the irradiation. (D.L.C.)
