PERFORMANCE EVALUATION of GLUTATION and ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEMS IN THE BLOOD OF HEALTHY PEOPLE
Abstract
Oxygen is necessary element for the life of most living organisms. Most part of the oxygen consumed by the human body is used in energy generation processes, but about 2–5% metamorphose to reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can exhibit a pronounced toxic effect on cells, initiating oxidative modification of lipids and proteins. Protection of cells, organs and the whole body from ROS, in General, is carried out by the antioxidant system (AOS), the most important components of which is glutathione and enzymes of its metabolism.
