LONG-TERM MONKEY FEEDING EXPERIMENT ON IRRADIATED PEACHES, WHOLE ORANGES AND PEELED ORANGES. Progress Report No. 4-b for period October 12, 1958 to March 29, 1959

Rhesus monkeys were maintained for 60 weeks on a diet containing peaches irradiated at zero, 2.79, and 5.58 megarads, and whole and peeled oranges irradiated at zero, 0.15, and 0.30 megareps. Eosinophilia was evident at first but subsided and all hematologic values were normal for the period of this report. No effects due to the toxicity of the irradiated foods were noted. (auth)
