The activation of antioxidant system enzymes: superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase in erythrocytes, bone marrow erythroid and myeloid populations of rats following irradiation in 0.258 mCl / kg daily dose during 30 days has been found. The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity decrease of bone marrow erythroid and myeloid populations in later terms of irradiation has been shown. It was pointed out, that the character of those enzymes activity changes depended on mature degree of cells and was observed in different kinds according as irradiation term.


Keywords: ionizing radiation , erythron, antioxidant system enzymes.
