LECITHINASE AND LYSOLECITHINASE ACTIVITY OF RAT INTESTINAL MUCOSA AFTER WHOLE-BODY X-IRRADIATION
Twenty-four hours after whole-body x irradiation the lecithinase activity of rat intestinal mucosa has markedly decreased and the lysolecithinase activity has decreasecp to a lesser extent. Addition of normal mucosa or chyi'otrypsin to the irradiated mucosa restores the activity of both enzymes. This indicates that irradiation eithei produces an inhibitor or inactivates a mechanism necessarly to convert pro-enzymes into active enzymes. Since chymo trypsin can increase to some extent the activity of the enzymes in normal mucosa, the second possibility seems more probable. (auth)
