OPEN DISCUSSION
GLASSER: Dr. Shore, do your irradiated mothers experience an
anorexic period?
SHORE:I really cannot tell you. We cid not make such a measurement,
GLASSER: What is the incorporation of !{C phenylalanine into the
dam?
SHORE: We concentrated strictly on the fetus. We have done
studies on the effects of radiation on liver enzyme synthesis in adult
and adolescent rats. We found effects that parallel the slope we found
here,
MAHLUM: Have you looked at incorporation at earlier times after
radiation to account for the difference in the weight that you see in the
24-hr period?
SHORE: Yes, we have, and this is what has led us to these interesting lines of thought.
