The protective effect of AET against pulsed radiations and the distributions of AET-/sup 35/S in mouse tissue were studied. AET afforded protection against mortality after exposure to pulsed as well as sustained radiations. Its effectiveness was of the same extent when AET was administered during 2 to 30 minutes preirradiation. Administration less than one second before or after irradiation afforded no protection. The maximum content of AET--/ sup 35/S in tissue occurred 10 to 20 minutes after the administration of /sup 35/ S -AET. In general, a good correlation was observed between the AET contests of tissues and the protection afforded. (auth)
