The Effect of 50 kV X-ray Irradiation on the Alkaline Phosphatase Activity of Growing Rat Bone

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase activity decreased in the tibial metaphysis of growing rats on the 1st day after irradiation with 0.5-8.0 Gy [grays]. There were no differences in enzyme activity between the control and the irradiated metaphysis 30 days after irradiation.
