Effect of inducers of lipid peroxidation on the behavior of ciliated epithelial cells.
Television microscope and original image treatment system were used for monitoring and recording the ciliary activity (beat frequency) of gill ciliated epithelia of the mussel Mytilus edulis (Bivalvia) and of the rat tracheal ciliated epithelia in response to the following prooxidants: H2O2, Fe+2, Fe+2 + ascorbic acid and NADP-H + ADP + Fe+2. Mussel ciliated cells proved to be more sensitive to the influence of the prooxidants than rat cells. The reactions of ciliated epithelial cells of mollusks and rats to the inducers of lipid peroxidation were not similar to behavioral responses of these cells under the action of low-dose ionizing radiation.
