Abstract
Changes in different biochemical cell functions observed in laboratory and farm animals. In the nucleated cells, chromatin degradation and depression of protein syntheses are known to occur after the irradiation. In contrary, there is evidence that protein content rises in rats under X-ray and g-neutron radiation. However, we found no data on protein content in peripheral blood cells of farm animals. That is why we studied bulk protein content and the photometric parameters in lymphocytes and thrombocytes in sheep exposed to the total external g-radiation at 2 and 4 Gy, a sublethal and half-lethal doses, respectively. In lymphocytes, the total protein content and photometric parameters after the irradiation were found to increase 1.7-4.7 times from 1 to 30 days, and 1.4-3.6 times from 1 to 10 days, respectively, with the thrombocytes parameters unchanged comparing to those in control animals for 30 days.
