title: The role of receptors in radiation hormesis.
abstract: The response of the receptor of plant origin, phytochrome and the receptor of rat lung cytoplasmic membrane adenylate cyclase to chronic, growth- and development-stimulating low-dose gamma-radiation (0.36 and 0.036 cGy/day) has been studied. The influence of radiation results in sensitization of receptors to specific effectors and receptor-mediated stimulation of corresponding enzymes.
