EFFECTS OF RADIATION ON NUCLEIC ACID IN VARIOUS ORGANS

DNA and RNA in the spleen and liver reached minimum quantity the second day after irradiation. For a decrease of DNA, Co/sup 60/ gamma rays were rather more effective than x rays, while RNA was more sensitive for an x ray effect. For RNA, the spleen was a little more sensitive for x rays than the liver. A recovery from reduction of DNA and RNA produced by Co/sup 60/ gamma rays was slightly more rapid than from that produced by x rays. (Abstr. Japan Med., 2: No. 5, May 1962).
