Abstract

In order to study the mechanisms of development of pathological changes in children living in contaminated areas and chronically exposed to radionuclides as a result of exposure through the food chain, studied the vegetative homeostasis and thermographic study endothelium-dependent vascular reactions with occlusive tests. Showed signs of dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system dysfunction, the secretory activity of the endothelium and increased secretion of substances endothelial origin.
