Abstract
Iron metabolism parameters (increased level of serum ferritin, appeara nce of an iron pool specifically unrelated to transferrin, reduced cer uloplasmin level, etc.) were found changed in subjects who participate d in liquidation of Chernobyl power plant accident aftereffects. These shifts in iron metabolism are explained by reduced antioxidant activi ty of plasma and indicative of mononuclear phagocyte dysfunction, thus necessitating a dynamic manitoring of this population.
