Table 1

Temporal changes in aminotransferases in blood of acatalasemic or normal mice at each sham, 0.5 Gy, or 15 Gy X-ray irradiation following CCl4 administration. Each value indicates the mean ± SEM. The number of mice experimental points is 5. +++ 𝑃 < 0 . 0 0 1 versus normal mouse * 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 , ** 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 versus control [19].
