The effect of X-irradiation on the protein meta-bolism of adult rat brain was studied and the results were compared with those of liver and spleen.

(1) The head X-irradiation, single dose irradiation of 3,000 r or divided dose irradiation of 500 r daily for six days, markedly inhibited the in vitro amino acid incorporation into proteins not only of brain slices but also that of liver slices. In case of divided dose irradiation the reduction in the incorporation shown at the later stage was preceded by an increase at the early stage of X-irradiation in all tissues in marked contrast to the rectilinear reduction obser-vable after the single dose irradiation.

(2) The whole body irradiation, 600 r daily for two days, did not inhibit but rather stimulate the in vitro incorporation of amino acid into the proteins of rat brain, liver and spleen slices. But after four day irradiation of 300 r per day, marked reduction in the incorporation was observed in all tissues. On the 30 th day after single dose irradiation of 500 r decreased incorporation was observed only in brain slices.

(3) In in vivo experiment, in which 14C-labelled amino acid was given intracisternally after the six day head irradiation (500 r per day), marked inhibi-tion in the incorporation into the rat brain protein was shown.

(4) It was suggested that there might be some intimate relationship between brain and liver with regards to the protein metabolism.

(5) Almost unchanged oxygen consumption and nucleic acid metabolism observed in the present ex-periment failed to give any explanation for the above mentioned effect of X-irradiation on the pro-tein metabolism.
