title: [Changes in the EPR spectra of the nitrosyl complexes of blood proteins in the low-intensity whole-body irradiation of mice].
abstract: After NO adding to mice blood and isolated erythrocytes ESR signal of nitrozyl complex HbNO (g = 2.07, g = 1.98) and NO-induced MetNg (g = 6.0) were registered. It was shown that the intensity of ESR spectra of these complexes increased after radiation of mice with a dose of 0.06, 0.6 and 5.4 cGy. Low-dose irradiation (0.6 and 0.06 cGy) caused the change in the form of ESR spectra of HbNO (g = 2.07), which is indicative of the shift from T-structure to R-structure and of the preferred formation of R-conformations of oxyhemoglobin in blood. It was found that dependence of NO-induced MetHb signal on irradiation dose is bimodal that may be connected with nonlinear response of the cells to irradiation and retarded adaptive response after radiation with low doses.
