Abstract
Erythrocytes of rabbits were treated by Roentgen radiation in doses of from 100R to 5,000R and the following results were obtained.
1. The content of potassium in e rythrocytes irradiated in a dose of 2,000R was decreased at the temperature of 37°C. This result was assumed that the reduction of potassium content was caused by the disturbance of erythrocytes membrane irradiated.
2. If the erythrocytes were kept in cold room (4°C) immediately after the radiation even in a dose of 2,000R was done, the influence of radiation on erythrocytes was reduced.
