Recovery Effect of Highly Polymerized Homologous Liver Deoxyribonucleic Acid injected into Lethally Irradiated Rats : Histological Examination of the Digestive Organs

Nature volume 193, pages 993–994 (1962)Cite this article

Abstract

IN our earlier reports it was pointed out that X-irradiated rats (LD100) treated with highly polymerized nucleic acids survive lethal doses of radiation. The data obtained showed that the treated animals survive the critical 30 days period, gain in body-weight and the contents of their splenic nucleic acids reached normal values within a short interval of time1–3. The adrenal glands also seemed to be less damaged than in the irradiated untreated animals4.
