Main outcome of study (acc. to author)

Only the enzymatic activity level of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) was found to be statistically significant higher in irradiated quail than in non-irradiated. No significant alterations for glucose, serum protein, LDH, beta-glucuronidase and acid phosphatase were found compared to the non-irradiated control.
