This paper presents the results of measuring electric parameters of the skin of rats exposed to gamma-irradiation. Skin resistance increased, especially 7 and 14 days after exposure at a dose of 8.3 Gy and 3 days after exposure at a dose of 15 Gy. Skin resistance reached its peaks 1-2 days before the onset of postradiation death of animals. The fact that skin electrical properties vary after irradiation makes it possible to use them as biological predictors.
