Abstract: Remote radiobiological effects in male rats prenatally exposed by ¹³¹I in different periods of gestation were studied. It was established that the negative effects of irradiation of ¹³¹I in utero in the distant period are manifested by disorders of the functioning of the pituitary-thyroid link of endocrine regulation, pro-antioxidant equilibrium, changes in the lipid-lipoprotein spectrum of blood serum. As a result of irradiation of ¹³¹I in utero throughout the period of gestation, discoordination in the functioning of the pituitary-thyroid link of endocrine regulation, a violation of the pro-antioxidant balance by increasing the intensity of lipoperoxidation processes and the activity reducing of enzymes of antioxidant defense, the atherogenic orientation of changes in the lipid-lipoprotein spectrum was established. As a result of irradiation by ¹³¹I in utero during the third trimester of gestation, the development of hypothyroidism, changes in pro-antioxidant balance due to the activation of antioxidant defense, and the reduction of the concentration of the main classes of lipids have been established.

Keywords: rat Wistar, ¹³¹I, intrauterine irradiation, thyroid hormones, TBC-active products, superoxide dismutase, catalase, lipids, lipoproteids.
