[Free radical oxidation of lipids and antioxidant system of blood in infertile women in a radioactive environment].

Abstract

Under the influence of different external factors, much attention was given to the study of the characteristics of pro- and antioxidant systems in the organism. It was studied the state of lipid peroxide oxidation in infertile women, who were evacuated from Chernobyl and Pripyati, and those who permanently live in the radiational-fected area. An appreciably high activity of lipid peroxidation was found in women who were affected by the radioactivity of different intensity. A sharp decrease in the strength of antioxidant defence system promotes a marked activation of the lipid peroxide oxidation. The cause of the sharp decrease of the intensity of antioxidant defence system is its exhaustion.
