Abstract
Weight changes seen in 15 tissues at 9 different periods following total body irradiation with an LD50 dose of X-ray were described and statistically evaluated. Loss of muscle mass explains the major portion of the total body weight loss. Changes in the chemical composition of bone marrow are described.Keywords
