Thesis. Exposure of rats to 700 rads whole-body 60Co gamma irradiation increased capillary permeabilily by 47% and increased lymph flow by 124% 48 hrs following irradiation, while exposure to 1000 rads caused an increase of capillary permeability of 98%, but did not change lymph flow from control values. The latter result may have been due to the relative dehydration and immobility of the 1000 rad group. Rats drinking large quantities of 5% dextrose + 0.7% NaCl solution did not increase lymph flow measurably above control levels.
