[Alkaline phosphatase and transaminase activity in the liver and blood serum of rats in the late periods following combined exposure to external gamma radiation and alpha radiation from plutonium-239].

A study was made of activity of alkaline phosphatase and alanine- and aspartate aminotransferase in rat liver and blood serum at remote times after external gamma-irradiation combined with internal exposure to 239Pu nitrate delivered in two chronically effective doses. The radionuclide was shown to be mainly responsible for the changes observed in activity of the enzymes under study. The degree to which the changes were manifest depended upon dose of plutonium administered.
