STUDIES ON VARIATIONS OF UNSATURATION OF LIPIDS IN SERUM BY THE EFFECT OF X- RAY IRRADIATION

The changes in levels of iodine and lipids in blood serum of rabbits were measured after exposure to a single dose of 1000 r of x radiation and after exposure to a second dose of 1000 r 3 months later. The iodine value appeared to increase slightly. Lipid values varied qualitatively. (C.H.)
