Abstract
WE have investigated the excretion of sodium in the saliva of irradiated rats by means of the radioisotope of sodium-22. The following method was used. White male rats of the laboratory strain weighing 150–200 g were divided into three groups : the first group containing 10 rats formed controls, the second and third groups consisted of 20 rats each. The animals wore fed by a standard diet and accepted water ad libitum.
