  • Title: [Ammonia content of the brain, liver and blood of rats in radiation injury].
    Author: Reva AD, Sokolov II, Kukharenko RI, Maksimova AN.
    Journal: Radiobiologiia; 1987; 27(1):112-5. PubMed ID: 2881321.
    Abstract:
    The neuroparalytic syndrome induced by ammonia was compared with the X-radiation-induced cerebral syndrome. It is suggested that the accumulation of ammonia in the brain and liver of rats is one of the reasons for the similarity of the studied syndromes. The fact that ammonia is bound by glutamic acid indicates that the latter is involved in the mechanisms of ammonia utilization and in the radioprotective properties manifestation.
