This thesis reports an attempt to measure the duration of the period during which cells duplicate their nuclear complement of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in preparation for mitosis, in the epithelia of the tongue, oesophagus, and intestine of the rat. Information was also sought on the duration of other stages in the cell cycle, and on the renewal time of the entire cell population of these epithelia. The nucleoside thymidine, labelled with tritium (H3), was used as a DNA precursor, and labelled nuclei were detected by radioautography.
