[Leukocyte enzyme activity in the gamma-ray irradiation of lambs]

|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
Investigated was the activity of lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (AP) of leukocytes obtained by means of urographic gradient in the clinical course of acute radiation sickness of small ruminants. The lambs were irradiated with 3.2 Gy (320 rad). It was found that the activity of AP and LDH rose in the first 20 hours following treatment, the processes of aerobic glycolysis becoming more intense in the leukocytes. The study on the activity of AP and LDH in the leukocytes could be used as an adjunct along with the use of the hematologic indices in the determination of the severity of the disease.
