[Phospholipids in the nuclei and chromatin of the rat thymus at long periods following gamma-irradiation].

: The phospholipid content of the homogenate, nuclei and chromatin of rat thymus was being studied during three months after fractionated gamma-irradiation (2 Gy X 3 at a week interval). The number of phospholipids in the total fraction of phosphatidyl choline + phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl ethanolamine in the nuclei and chromatin of rat thymus was shown to decrease 60 min following the last exposure. In a month the phospholipid content in the nuclei and chromatin increased up to the control level keeping it throughout the entire period of observation.
