The irradiation of liver slices with 2 MeV electrons at 0° had no effect upon the phospholipase or lipase activity of the tissue at doses less than 6 Mrad. Proteolytic activity was reduced at doses as low as 0.1 Mrad and was 50% inhibited at 3.0 Mard. Considerable proteolytic and lipolytic activity remained after irradiation with 40 Mrad.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
