[Changes in the lipid content of the blood and erythrocyte membrane in patients with IHD under the influence of quantum therapy].

Laser therapy of coronary patients significantly diminished total cholesterol, low and very low density lipoproteins, triglycerides and atherogenic index persisting for 3-6 months. Primary changes in the structure of the lipid bilayer of a red cell membrane in response to laser radiation are considered to be an effect of the physical factor characterized by activation of lipid peroxidation, phospholipolysis, by growth of membrane cholesterol content (phase I). Mobilization of the adaptive mechanisms was accompanied by positive shifts in the structure pattern of a biomembrane with return to initial condition by the end of the therapy course (phase II). Further (III) phase of subcellular changes resultant from quantum effects lasted for 3 months and brought activation of the antioxidant system, reorganization of phospholipid membrane composition, an increase in osmotic resistance of red cells. This may produce a positive tendency in IHD.
