[Effects of irradiated wheat flour in the AKR mouse. II. Effects on hematology and activity of a serum enzyme].

Blood samples were collected all six weeks from the tip of the tail of AKR mice fed with irradiated or non irradiated wheat flour. Haematocrit, red and white blood cell counts and differential white cell counts were determined and the activity of p-phenylenediamine oxidase was measured in the serum. No effect attributed to the diet could be demonstrated. We propose a method to detect antemortem the appearance of the AKR leukemia.
