Synopsis:

Cumulative total body irradiation caused subtle but significant changes in liver function enzymes and proteins which may be due to non-specific stress reactions; as such they are important markers in radiation induced injury diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Total body irradiation (TBI) is a choice therapy for the management of some malignancies; it is also a major cause of oxidative stress. The aim of this research is to sequentially document the effect of total body radiation on body function utilizing the sequential changes in liver function enzymes and proteins in rats.
