Abstract: Influence of the environment radioactive contamination on the age changes of the lipid peroxidation state in the Microtus oeconomus tissues (rodents caught in the Komi Republic areas and in the Chernobyl accident zone) was studied. The data show that action extent depends on the external y-radiation level in the trapping areas, the animal sex and the supply of the tissue lipids by antioxidants.
