Title: THE EFFECT OF X-IRRADIATION ON THE PHOSPHOLIPASE AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES OF RAT INTESTINAL MUCOSA

Journal Article · · Radiation Research
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2307/3571045· OSTI ID:4194388

The antioxidant effect of intestinal mucosa is the result of the liberation of free fatty acid from phospholipid by phospholipase. The fatty acid binds the iron and thus inhibits peroxidation of unsaturated lipids in the test system. The phospholipase and antioxidant activity of rat intestinal mucosa decreases markedly 24 hours postirradiation and to approximately the same extent. (auth)
