[Circulating macromolecular complexes in rats which have undergone radiation, thermal and combined injuries]

In experiments on rats it was shown that radiation and thermal traumas caused reduction in number of circulating macromolecular complexes, determined by the nephelometric method, by the end of the first 24 h following the damaging effect; on the 3d day, the amount of these complexes was minimum. The combined radiation-and-thermal damage produced the additive effect. The authors discuss the nature of the observed decrease in the number of circulating macromolecular complexes.
