David D. Ulmer, L Perkins, James G. Kereiakes

Abstract

Twenty-four hours after exposure of rats to whole body x irradiation and injection of I-131 the stomach contents and pelt showed a marked increase in concentration of radioiodine. The blood and other organs showed less marked increases as compared to nonirradiated controls. X irradiation diminished the anount of I-131 lost into the urine and feces. (auth)
