title: [Radiation-protective effect of S-methylmethionine (vitamin U)].
abstract: S-Methylmethionine had moderate radioprotective activity, the efficiency of radioprotection was 15-30%, the value of dose decrease coefficient-1.2. Biological effect of S-methylmethionine was probably provided by its ability to decrease the level of lipid peroxidation and inhibit monoamine oxidase activity.
