1. 1. The activities of liver enzymes involved in the breakdown and synthesis of glycogen have been investigated in this study after whole-body exposure of rats to 1200 rads of X-ray of mixed gamma-neutron radiation. 2. 2. It was found that glycogen phosphorylase and amylo-1,6-glucosidase (debranchi...
