[Electromagnetic fields of millimeter range: effect on the structure and functional properties of erythrocyte membranes].
The effect of coherent and non-coherent electromagnetic fields of millimetre range on biophysical and biochemical indices of blood erythrocytes and plasma of the animals totally exposed to radiation at various periods of observation (day 1, 5, 10) was studied. The following structure-functional shifts were revealed: deviations in the content of separate phospholipid fractions of erythrocyte membranes, the changes of lipid peroxidation products in erythrocyte membranes and blood plasma of the irradiated animals, statistically significant increase of K ions out-flow from the erythrocytes, as well as the alteration of the value of membrane potential of erythrocytes.
