  • Title: [Radiation-induced changes in structural state of membranes of human blood cells].
    Author: Burlakova EB, Atkarskaia MV, Fatkullina LD, Andreev SG.
    Journal: Radiats Biol Radioecol; 2014; 54(2):162-8. PubMed ID: 25764817.
    Abstract:
    To evaluate radiation-induced changes in the structural state of the membranes, blood samples of healthy donors were subjected to gamma radiation in the range of small (1-10 cGy) and medium doses (50 cGy-2 Gy). After irradiation, the microviscosity of lipid membranes of red and white blood cells was measured by ESR spin probe method. At doses exceeding 1 cGy, statistically significant changes of the degree of spontaneous erythrocyte hemolysis and of the lymphocyte plasma membrane microviscosity were observed. Under identical irradiation conditions, the stability of lymphocyte membranes was less as compared to erythrocyte membranes.
