Abstract

The effect of total X-ray irradiation (0.155 C/kg) on the activity of cathepsin L (KF 3.4.22.15) from the light mitochondrial fraction and microsomal soluble fraction of the gray substance of the neocortex was studied in rats. The estimations were performed 1, 24, 48, and 120 h after irradiation. The changes in the cathepsin L activity observed in acute radiation pathology were complex and multiphasic.
