Effects of X-Irradiation and Urethane Treatment on Chicken Bone Marrow Enzymes.

Abstract
Mature hens were given a single whole body X-irradiation of 300 r. This treatment markedly reduced the bone marrow endogenous respiration, choline oxidase, and succinoxidase. The intraperit. injn. of urethane also reduced marrow choline oxidase, and reduced succinoxidase but to a lesser degree. Both X-irradiation and urethane treatment rendered the chickens leucopenic.
