Intensity of Oxidative Stress in Mongoloid and Caucasian Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Specific features of LPO were studied in Mongoloid and Caucasian patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The intensity of LPO in Mongoloid patients was lower than in Caucasians: the level of primary and intermediate products was by lower 1.53 and 1.

[The impact of arterial hypertension in children on dental decay activity].

One hundred and ninety-five children aged 8 to 13 years, of which 113 are diagnosed with essential arterial hypertension (EAH), and 82 children from the control group without somatic diseases including EAH were examined. All children underwent dental examination. The values of the substrates and the primary products of lipid peroxidation (LPO)--double bond (DB) and diene conjugates (DC) were determined.

[The values of lactate, pyruvate and their ratio in patients with diabetes mellitus type I.].

The article presents data concerning assessment of content of such components of carbohydrate metabolism as lactate and pyruvate and their ration in patients with diabetes mellitus type I, representatives of Mongoloids and Caucasians. The decreased concentration of the given metabolites in mongoloids is established. The intensive cumulation of lactate and ration lactate/pyruvate in Caucasians can promote development of hypoxemic occurrences and as a result decrease course and prognosis of disease.

LPO-Antioxidant Defense System in Newborns and Women Drinking Small Amounts of Alcohol During Pregnancy.

We studied the effects of consumption of low-alcohol drinks (no more than 2 doses) during pregnancy on the state of LPO-antioxidant defense system and glutathione level in the blood serum and erythrocytes of pregnant women and newborns. It was found that even single alcohol intake was followed by the development of oxidative stress in women and newborns. In pregnant women, the decrease in reduced glutathione content and glutathione reductase activity associated with increased level of oxidized glutathione and glutathione transferase activity were typical changes.
