[Chromosomal aberrations and parameters of oxidative stress in Chernobyl clean-up workers in a remote period after ionizing radiation].

This investigation was performed to test a supposition about the influence of disturbances in antioxidative system on cytogenetical parameters in Chernobyl' clean-up workers. It was shown that some cytogenetical parameters straightly correlated with the parameters of oxidative stress, while other cytogenetical parameters show just reverse correlations. Apparently, these relationships are not of cause-and-effect type, but they reflect a complex processes occurring in humans for a long period after radiation exposure.
