THE EFFECTS OF ROENTGEN WHOLE-BODY IRRADIATION ON THE ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY OF LEUCINE-AMINO-PEPTIDASE GLUTAMATE-OXALATE-AND GLUTAMATE-PYRUVATE-TRANSAMINASE IN DIFFERENT ORGANS OF MICE (in German)
White mice received whole-body irradiation of 450 r. The activities of the leucine-amino-peptidase, glutamicoxalacetic-transaminase, and glutamic- pyravate-transaininase were investigated 2 to 14 days after irradiation. Twelve of 47 examined animals died at different intervals after irradiation. The irradiation caused a slight decrease of the wet weight of heant, liver, and kidney and a slight decrease of the protein content of the organ homogenates. The activity of the leucine-ainino-peptidase showed a significant decrease in all organs by the 2nd day after irradiation; the activity of the glutainic-oxalacetic- transaminase increased at the saine day in all organs; and the activity of the glutainic-pyruvate-transaininase showed at the same tiine a distinct increase only in the liver hoinogenates. A delayed increase of the pyruvate-transaminase was found in kidney homogenates. On the 14th day after irradiation an increase of leucine-amino-peptidase and glutainic-oxalacetic-transaminase was found in all organs. (auth)
