Male rats of Wistar SPF breeding were observed for the changes in the activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and the concentrations of glucose and cholesterol in their serum after exposing them to a single dose of whole-body gamma radiation of 6.0 Gy. Analyses were carried out after 6 h, 24 h, 48 h and on day 7, 14, and 21 after irradiation. The cholesterol level and the activity of ALT increased in the terminal period. In this period a significant increase in serum glucose was also observed. The activity of AST had decreased significantly after 48 h and on day 21 after irradiation
