Abstract:
An attempt to evaluate the influence of tritium oxide on the metabolism by some indices of lipid metabolism (common lipids, beta-lipoproteins, cholesterin), protein metabolism (cholinesterasa) and carbohydrate metabolism (blood sugar) was made. It was established that the introduction into organism of tritium oxide in the quantities, which could form lethal and sublethal doses of internal radiation, provoked the main changes of values of mentioned indices of metabolism. The character of metabolism changes in the remote period allows us to judge about the development of sclerosis processes, which can be the result of radiation-stipulated acceleration of organism aging.
