Effects of X-irradiation on Potassium Flux in Isolated Nerves

Christian N. Ramsey-1966-08-01-University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas)

TL;DRAbstract

The purpose of this study, therefore, was threefold in nature: (1) to determine the effects of x-irradiation on the influx and efflux of potassium in compound nerve fibers (2) to attempt to relate the radiation-induced changes in electrical activity with potassium flux and (3) to use the information obtained to gain insight into the possible cellular site (s) of radiation insult to compound nerves.
