[Metabolic processes in humans exposed to high doses of chronic radiation].
The study covered the metabolic parameters in a total of 390 workers of atomic industry, who received the total surface dose of gamma rays equal to 1.0-7.5 Gy and periodic excessive incorporation of plutonium-239. The authors described age- and sex-matched radiation-induced moderate changes in metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, proteins and the compromised activity of enzymes. The most distinct changes were seem in the people, who had received the total surface dose of gamma rays over 4.0 Gy. The metabolic changes were individually evaluated by an integral biochemical index, which proved the strong correlation with radiation.
