Urinary and Plasma Amino Nitrogen in Irradiated Dogs. ∗

Abstract

Summary

The plasma and urinary amino nitrogen content was studied in dogs exposed to an L. D. 50 (and pair-fed non-irradiated controls) and to an L. D. 100 of x-rays. No significant abnormalities were noted in contrast to the pronounced aminoaciduria reported to occur in man exposed even to small doses of total body radiation.
