[Biochemical reception and ionizing irradiation of the body]

The authors present the idea of the importance of studying the mechanism of biochemical reception of biologically active compounds (BAC) particularly the reception of prostaglandins after the effect of ionizing radiation on eucaryotes as a factor playing a significant role in understanding the radiation sickness pathogenesis. The perspectives of studying BAC reception are prognosticated for searching new radiomodifying agents (radioprotectors and means for treating radiation sickness).
