Abstract
Intravenous injection of cysteine prior to irradiation significantly protects the nonhibernating ground squirrel from the lethal effects of x rays. Such protection was not demonstrated when cysteine was administered to the hibernating ground squirrel after irradiation. Some ground squirrels irradiated while hibernating spontaneously awake from hibernation for short periods of time. The sigificance of these findings and their relation to previous work are discussed.
