Effect of X-Ray on Radioactive Phosphorus Turnover and Oxygen Consumption of Brain. ∗ †

Abstract

Conclusion

irradiation with 500 to 800 r of X-rays did not impair the ability of adult mouse brain tissue to metabolize exogenous radiophosphate and did not alter the Qo₂ of the minced tissue. Doses of 19,000 r produced no observable acute effect on the phosphorylation.
