Summary
Experiments were performed on rats. The authors determined the changes in the total protein content of the blood serum and the correlation of the protein fractions in response to the local action of low temperature and irradiation of animals with a lethal dose of X-rays. The combined effect of these factors brings about hypoproteinemia and a change in the correlation of the protein fractions towards a reduction of albumin fractions and an increase of the α1−, α2− and β-globulins.
