[Glutathione antioxidant system in myocardium and erythrocytes of rats with acute hypoxic heart damage].

Acute hypoxic hypoxia causes no changes in the content of SH-groups and in the activity of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase in erythrocytes and myocardium. Adrenaline myocarditis results in activation of the glutathionic enzymes as well as in decrease in the content of SH groups in the myocardium and their increase in the erythrocytes. Administration of vitamin E partially corregates the shifts caused by adrenaline myocarditis.
