[Changes in structural and functional properties of the erythrocyte membrane under the action of ionizing radiation]. / Izmeneniia strukturno-funktsional'nykh svoistv membran éritrotsitov pod vliianiem ioniziruiushchei radiatsii.

The effects of lethal and sublethal doses of ionizing radiation on structural and functional characteristics of erythrocytes membranes was studied. Statistically reliable increase in K+ escape from cell and decrease in membrane potential. Model membranes made of phospholipids extracted from irradiated membranes exhibit increased ion permeability. Radiation induced changes in some membrane phospholipids content were revealed.
