Abstract
The simultaneous intestinal transfer of D- and L-methionine in control and irradiated rabbits (800 R from a Cs-137 source) was studied with the aid of D-methionine (methyl C-14 and L-methionine (methyl H-3). Following the duodenal injection of the isomers, the radioactivity was measured in both femoral and portal sera at regular intervals. The curves so obtained show a rapid intestinal transfer of these amino acids and no difference was observed between irradiated and unirradiated animals. However, a marked change in the metabolic fate of the L- methionine was observed in irradiated rabbits.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
