Abstract
Radioactive materials and isotopes, since their introduction at the first of the century, have been invaluable tools in many fiends of research. Physiology and its related fields are among those receiving maximum benefit from the versatile tools. Fresh light has been shed on numerous heretofore insoluble problems with the coincidental introduction of new problems by the score. Foremost among these problems are the fundamental effects on individual tissues produced by radioactive materials. Before research with these valuale instruments can be exploited to its fullest extent, these basic effects must be determined. This study is an attempt to determine the histological effects on the liver, kidney, and adrenal tissues of the albino rat following internal exposure to sublethal dosages of phosphorus 32. It was made in conjunction with studies of P32 uptake by the testis and accessary reproductive organs of the rat.
