Effect of X-Irradiation on Myoglobin Content

Willard R. Faulkner 1 and Frank R. Blood 1

1 From the Department of Biochemistry, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee

To assess the effects of x-irradiation on myoglobin concentration, rats were irradiated with an ld50/30 dose of x-irradiation. Each irradiated rat was paired with a control animal. At approximately weekly intervals for 5 weeks, several pairs were killed and a portion of their skeletal muscle was assayed for myoglobin. No change in the myoglobin concentration was observed although a severe anemia developed in all of the irradiated animals.
