Abstract
Rats received a large single dose of whole body x-ray followed by a test dose at an interval of 2, 5 and 8 days. Mortality in 30 days was measured and recovery from the first dose was calculated. Rats aged 546 days recovered at a rate no less rapid than that of 107-day-old rats. The implication of the recovery data is briefly discussed.Keywords
