Abstract

The effect of local x-ray irradiation on the content of certain elements in cell components (nuclei, mitochondria) and blood serum of rats with transplanted sarcoma M-1 in a dose of 250 R during growth of the tumor was shown to lead to a redistribution of Zn from the nuclei into the mitochondria. Statistically significant postradiation changes also were found in the content of Ca, Mg, Cu, and Zn in the blood serum of rats with a transplanted sarcoma M-1 after a single session of local irradiation of the tumor in a dose of 1000 R.
