THE DESOXYRIBONUCLEASE ACID OF THE SPLEEN AFTER IRRADIATION OF NORMAL RATS AND RATS PROTECTED BY CYSTAMINE (in French)
A whole-body x radiation dose of 850 r was administered to rats injected with cystamine and to control rats. The rats were sacrificed 15 minutes to 5 days after irradiation in order to determine the DNA content and the rate of the DNase activity. During the first two days following irradiation, the two quantities evolved in the same way in both groups of rats: the activity of the splenic DNase acid greatly increases while the DNA level falls. Beyond the second day a difference in the two groups is noticed: the activity of the DNase continues to increase in the controls and is stabilized in the injected: the rate of DNA remains very low in the controls and increases progressively in the protected. The significance of these results is discussed. (P.C.H.)
