Abstract

Supplements of methionine or homocysteine, betaine and choline were fed to Wistar rats prior to irradiation and during a 26 day period postirradiation. The data suggest that the homocysteine supplement was most effective in protecting the rats against loss in body weight and eye cataracts. Both methionine and homocysteine offered some protection against hypertrophy of the kidney and spleen in male rats. Reproductive organs in male rats were not protected from atrophy by these compounds, however.
