WE have already reported on reduced radiosensitivity of mice pre-treated with dried thyroid gland1. Attempts were made to correlate these changes of radiosensitivity with the qualitative state of metabolic processes. The work was performed on the thyroid pre-treated mice and on the groups of normal irradiated mice.
