Comparative study of physical properties of apical and basolateral membranes of small intestine enterocytes affected by ionizing radiation

: The physical properties of apical and basolateral membranes of rats small intestine enterocytes after X-ray irradiation in doses of 1.0 and 2.0 Gy were studied. More pronounced decrease of the boundary lipids fluidity, the reduction of the protein component, participating in energy transfer, and immersion of such proteins into lipid phase was revealed in apical membrane in comparison with basolateral membrane.
