Abstract

The effect of electrons with the energy 5 MeV on the erythrocyte membrane permeability for K+ has been investigated. Using free radical scavengers and SH-active reagents it was shown that radiation-induced release of intracellular potassium is related to the damage of protein sulfhydryl groups by hydroxyl radicals.
