Lipid and lipoprotein spectrum of the blood plasma was investigated and phenotyping of hyperlipoproteinaemias was carried out in men exposed to ionizing radiation and suffered from acute radiation illness as a result of the Chernobyl accident. An increase of the total cholesterol triglycerides and content frequency of atherogenic types of hyperlipoproteinaemias in comparison with average levels of population both a year and 3 years after irradiation was observed. No essential differences were found between the obtained indices 1 and 3 years after irradiation which testified to the stability of the revealed disturbances.
