The Effects of Radiant Energy on Milk Anemia in Rats*

Paul C. Foster

(From the Laboratory of Physiology, School of Medicine, Tulane University of Louisiana, New Orleans)

Irradiation with a quartz mercury arc has a slight but definite effect in increasing the hemoglobin content of the blood of rats rendered anemic by a milk diet. The number, size, and saturation of the red cells are also increased. A flaming carbon arc, from "Sunshine" carbons, had no effect.

* The data in this paper are taken from a thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Tulane University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in June, 1930. The investigation was carried out under the direction of Professor Henry Laurens.

Preliminary reports on the results have appeared in the Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1929, xxvi, 251; 1930, xxvii, 892.

Aided by a grant from the David Trautman Schwartz Research Fund of Tulane University.

Manuscript received 3 April 1931.
