The Effect of Irradiation on the Serum Glutamic-Oxalacetic Transaminase Level
The serum glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase was determined in both rabbits and rats after 700 r whole-body irradiation. Some of the rats were also given 5000 r to the liver region. A significant but small rise appeared in the rabbits 24 hours after irradiation. No significant alteration occurred in the transaminase level of the rats, either in those receiving whole-body irradiation or in those receiving 5000 r to the liver. An explanation is offered for the transaminase rise in the rabbit and aIso for the lack of rise in the rat. It is concluded that this is a poor test for biological dosimetry because the elevation due to radiation is too small and also because there is no correlation between the elevation and likelihood of death.
