The animals were decapitated on the 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 22 and 30th day after irradiation and cell suspensions from the liver and thymus were obtained. After centrifugation, the content of MDA, the spontaneous and NADH-induced synthesis of superoxide anion radical of oxygen, the content of total and free iron were determined in the cellular sediment and centrifugate containing intercellular fluid.
