Abstract
HIGH doses of X-radiation appear to alter the function of the erythrocyte membrane without producing much change in the internal metabolism of cells1. In order to define the changes which occur in the erythrocyte membrane more precisely, we have investigated the effects of X-rays on various enzymes in isolated stroma. Marked differences in the radiosensitivity of these enzymes were observed (Table 1).
