Abstract
The uric acid and allantoin contents of the blood and urine of dogs and rats receiving lethal doses of γ-and α-radiation have been determined. The uric acid contents of the blood and urine fell by 15–45% during the course of radiation sickness, while the allantoin contents rose by 30–50%. The food rations of the control animals were restricted to those of the irradiated ones, and were quantitatively inadequate; the uric acid content of the blood and urine rose under these conditions by 17–20%, and the allantoin content by 12–15%.
