Abstract
Severe destructive changes in the intestine of rats following whole body exposure
to gamma rays (832 rads) were observed by light microscope, scanning and transmission
electron microscope studies. Hypothermia (15°C rectal temperature) induced prior to
irradiation protected the intestinal mucosa from destruction. A simultaneous study showed
that glucose absorption decreased significantly in irradiated rats, whereas it was increased in
hypothermic irradiated animals.
