Contributions to the Study of Immediate and Early X-ray Reactions with Regard to Chemoprotection

Abstract

Fresh synovia is used as a natural solution of mucopolysaccharide macromolecules. Their immediate x-ray depolymerization is studied by measurement of relative viscosity. It is shown that in this case reducing radicals must be active, and strongly reducing substances are radiomimetic here. The usual chemoprotectors are active, but also molecular oxygen has the same protective power.
