Change in iron metabolism as affected by ionizing radiation

Iron metabolism parameters (increased level of serum ferritin, appearance of an iron pool specifically unrelated to transferrin, reduced ceruloplasmin level, etc.) were found changed in subjects who participated in liquidation of Chernobyl power plant accident aftereffects. These shifts in iron meta...

Description
Summary:	Iron metabolism parameters (increased level of serum ferritin, appearance of an iron pool specifically unrelated to transferrin, reduced ceruloplasmin level, etc.) were found changed in subjects who participated in liquidation of Chernobyl power plant accident aftereffects. These shifts in iron metabolism are explained by reduced antioxidant activity of plasma and indicative of mononuclear phagocyte dysfunction, thus necessitating a dynamic monitoring of this population.
