Description/Abstract:
APPROXIMATELY 27 ACID OR NEUTRAL AND 13 BASIC AMINO ACIDS AND METABOLI TES WERE QUANTIFIED IN PLASMA AND URINE OF SPRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS 24, 48, AND 72 HOURS AFTER 740- TO 10,000-RAD DOSES OF MIXED GAMMA-NEUTRON RA DIATIONS. NONE OF THE POSTIRRADIATION ALTERATIONS IN THE PLASMA CONCEN TRATIONS AND URINARY EXCRETION RATES OF THESE COMPOUNDS HAS ANY VALUE AS A BIOLOGICAL DOSIMETER OR INDICATOR OF RADIATION DAMAGE IN THE DOSE RANGE INVESTIGATED.
