Annotation

Experimental data on the effect of low doses of gamma radiation on the membrane of human erythrocytes are presented. Hidden damage of erythrocyte membrane after exposure to $^{226}$Ra has been detected by applying a calibrated electric pulse. This method is compared with the classical method for assessing the state of a membrane by measuring osmotic fragility. A mathematical model for adequate description of experimental results is proposed.
