Abstract

The article presents the results of studying the effect of long-lived radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr on some biochemical parameters of the blood serum of pigs. Ionizing radiation has a pronounced biological effect, and the radiobiological reaction in pigs begins with the formation of various kinds of cellular damage as a result of the transfer of radiation energy to them. A feature of the influence of incorporated irradiation on the body of pigs is not only decay, but also the formation of highly reactive ions and free radicals, which are involved in the primary radiation-chemical processes in organs and tissues with the formation of toxic metabolites. The severity of the damage depends on the type of radiation exposure, the power and dose of radiation, radiosensitivity and the age of a particular animal species. In addition, the tropism of long-lived radionuclides and the level of radioactive doses received for various organs and tissues of pigs are of particular importance.
