The investigation results on the role of antioxidant properties of lipids in determination of natural radioresistance of animals from different species and strains are generalized. It is shown that antioxidant activity of lipids in spleen is the main component in providing for animal stability under acute irradiation in sublethal and minimal lethal doses. The role of parameters of physicochemical regulation system for peroxide oxidation of lipids in membrane repair after the radiation impact on animals is analyzed. The idea about two levels of membrane repair after radiation impact is formulated.
