Summary
A study was made of morphological changes occurring in the gastrointestinal tract of rats after Ce144 administration(12–15 μC/g of body weight). Destructive and necrobiotic changes in the mucosal epithelium accompanied by inflammatory reaction were characteristic of gastrointestinal tract lesions. The degree of these changes increased toward the distal end of the digestive tract, the large intestine being most affected.
After external x-ray irradiation and Ce144 administration, certain features specific to the reaction of the gastrointestinal tract could be observed. These depended on the physicochemical properties and the method of isotope administration.
