ABSTRACT
Low-intensity radiation at the absorbed dose of 4 µGy/min is a stressor of medium strength. In male Wistar rats, a pronounced and long-lasting response occurs in the system of red blood cells at the accumulated dose of 4.8 mGy. Functional deficiency of circulating cells was evaluated by the resistance of erythrocytes to acid lyse and the activity of the main antioxidant enzymes--superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). The minimum "threshold" doses of radiation that cause systemic reactions occur in the range of units of miligrey.
