Abstract:BACKGROUND.Exposure to ionizing radiation leads to the intensification of oxidizing processes that directly or indirectly alter target molecules forming reactive oxygen species targeting cell membrane lipids and proteins. There is a need for new antioxidants to reduce the effects of ionizing radiation. OBJECTIVES Our study aimed to determine changes in the absorption spectrum of erythrocyte membrane proteins in gamma-irradiated mice and evaluate the potential protective effect of the antioxidant Herniarin.
