Effect of Ionizing Radiations on Distribution of Plasma Protein-Bound Neutral Hexoses in Mice and Dogs

Radiation Effects in Man: Manifestations and Therapeutic Efforts

“…Other problems in using urinary CdR include variations in excretion due to race(57) and age(63).Glycoproteins* Including Transferrin; Serum IronSerum glycoprotein levels have been reported to have prognostic significance after radiation injury(64). Using preirradiation levels as controls, the concentration of total protein-bound carbohydrates, particularly transferrin and haptoglobin(65), are found to rise to high levels in mice, rats, and dogs who have died after radiation exposure, although survivors showed little change. However,…”
