Abstract
THE syndrome of acute intestinal lesions due to ionizing radiation leading to an early death of the animals has been described by many workers1–5. The present work is concerned with the increase of the capillary permeability in the intestinal tract of rats after irradiation and the suppression of this phenomenon by the action of drugs affecting the esterase systems.
