The effect of gamma irradiation on alkaline phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphate has been studied in three anatomically different regions of the small intestine at a surface dose of 400 R. Both the enzymatic activities were shown to be enhanced in duodenum, jejunum and ileum 24 hours after irradiation. The activity of alkaline phosphatase on day 3 tendeed to be low as compared to day 1 post irradiation, but glucose-6-phosphatase continued to rise even after day 3. Maximum rise of glucose-6-phosphatase was observed in the jejunum. On day 9, alkaline phosphatase was diminished below the controls in the whole of intestine, but appeared to be normal on day 10. Glucose-6-phosphatase in duodenum and jejunum on the other hand was comparable to that of control mice; but in ileum, the activity of this enzyme was below the normal values. Physiological significances of these enzymes in intestine has been discussed.
