The review considers the results of blood lipid and lipoprotein spectrum studies in clean-up workers of the Chornobyl NPP accident in remote post-accident period. Role of lipid peroxidation processes in development of disorders of the blood lipid transport system in the irradiated organism is revealed. Possible ways of atherogenic dyslipidemia associated with increase in serum concentrations of peroxide-modified lipoproteins, which exacerbates the destructive changes of vascular wall and makes possible development of radiation-induced atherosclerosis, are shown.
Key words: ionizing radiation, blood lipid spectrum, lipoperoxidation, dislipemia, atherosclerosis.
