Effect of X-Irradiation on Distribution and Properties of Cytoplasmic Particulates of Rat Liver

John F. Thomson, Y.E. Rahman

Open publisher page 14 citations

Abstract

On the basis of distribution of enzyme activities, there was no effect of 1000 r of total-body x irradiation on the size distribution of mitochondria, lysosomes, or uricase particles of rat liver. There was also no effect of total body x irradiation on spontaneous swelling or phosphorylative capacity of rat liver mitochondria. Hence it is concluded that the effects of radiation on rat liver mitochondria in vivo must be very slight.
