title: Changes in the transport of 14C-leucine in tissue rings and activity of alkaline phosphatase and (Na+, K+) ATP-ase in mucosa of small intestine in broiler chickens fed on mixtures treated with gamma irradiation.
abstract: The effect of treating the combined feeds with gamma rays (0.35, 0.7 and 1.0 Mrad) was studied on the transport of 14C-leucine in intestinal rings and activity of alkaline phosphatase and (Na+, K+) ATP-ase in mucosa of small intestine of broiler chicks. It was established that in treating the combined feeds with gamma rays the transport of 14C-leucine increases in intestinal rings, being this effect most significant in treating with 0.35 Mrad. Activity of both alkaline phosphatase and (Na+, K+) ATP-ase in intestinal mucosa increases on feeding combined feeds treated with 0.35 Mrad, remains unchanged with 0.7 Mrad and decreases significantly with 1.0 Mrad.
