CHANGE IN TISSUE RESPIRATION FOLLOWING X-IRRADIATION

Kazuhiro Morishita

Abstract

Changes in the liver, brain. small intestine, bone marrow, spleen, and blocd in healthy rabbite after x irradiation of 300 r were studied. One hour after irradiation the tissue respiration in the small intestine was increased to about twice normal. However, in the other organs no change or a very slight depression was noted. Three hours after irradiation the small intestine still showed some increase, but in the liver the tissue respiration appeared about half the normal. This may be due to a secondary product of indirect action of radiation. (Absts. Japan. Med., 1: No. 6,
