Correction of aftereffects of ionizing radiation by exposure to low-intensity light.

Specific features of free radical oxidation were studied after experimental exposure to ionizing radiation. A decrease in the level of products of oxidative modification of proteins and LPO was observed after exposure of irradiated zone to low-intensity incoherent red light. It was suggested that low-intensity radiation of this spectrum produces a radioprotective effect and can be used for the correction of ionizing radiation-induced disturbances.
