The action of sublethal doses of ionizing radiation on the endogenous radioresistance background

: Sublethal doses of X radiation (0.5 Gy and 1 Gy) caused the alterations in levels of main components of endogenous radioresistance background in rat tissues. There were demonstrated the decrease of serotonin content in stomach mucosa and spleen, adrenalin, noradrenalin and corticosteroid contents in adrenal glands, nonprotein thiols content in spleen, and the increase of lipid peroxide level in serum on the 3-14 days after irradiation. The recovery of the investigated parameters was occurred to the 21 day after exposure.
