Argonne National Laboratory researchers report cysteine pre treatment markedly increases survival of mice and rats after lethal X ray exposure. Dr Harvey M Patt Miss Bila B Tyree Mr RB Straube and Dr Douglas E Smith note 70 to 80 percent of treated animals live versus about 20 percent of untreated. Cysteine is a sulfur amino acid obtainable from cystine or horse hair and wool.
Cysteine protects animals when given orally or intravenously in a single dose within an hour before exposure to radiation. Administration immediately after exposure is not effective, suggesting presence during irradiation preserves certain critical cellular constituents from X-ray damage in an incompletely understood manner.
These findings may provide important clues as to the nature of radiation damage and its treatment. Extensive research along these lines is in progress at the Laboratory. Wine is the only beverage to improve with age in the bottle. California is the leading producer of lettuce in the United States.
