Abstract
The effects of radiation on organisms have been intensively studied during the post-irradiation period. Presumably, these are essentially observations of the recovering animal or of latent manifestations of injury instigated during irradiation. By comparison, relatively little has been reported of the functional changes which may occur during the period of exposure to external radiation. Most experimental data concern changes during exposure to low-intensity radiation for an appreciable portion of the life span (1, 2) or studies of morbidity during exposure to highintensity X-rays (3-6). The present paper describes the marked changes that were observed in food and water consumption, and body weight of rats, during an 8-hour exposure to lowintensity y-radiation.
