title: [Effects of chronic radiation exposure on erythrocyte metabolism and functioning].
abstract: The structural and functional state of blood erythrocytes in people exposed to radiation during Chernobyl NPP accident was studied two or six years later. The changes in oxygen transport system of erythrocytes and in the ratio between some organic phosphate fractions were observed. The beta-carotene per os administration to rats during low-level irradiation increased hemolytic stability and activity of glycolytic enzymes, that bears witness to the increasing of organism adaptive reactions at provitamin administration during irradiation.
