Chick embryos and 7-day chicks were exposed to 1000 rad of gamma radiation, and hepatic mitochondria were obtained 1, 24, and 72 hr later. The oxidized form of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD) diminished in all instances and was most marked in 12-day embryos. Changes in the reduced form (NADN) were less marked. Factors involved in the decrease of NAD and NADN are discussed. (HLW)
