[Free radicals lipid peroxidation and level of R-proteins in non-specific aortoarteritis and hypertension]

Parameters characterizing free-radical oxidation of lipids (malonic dialdehyde, total serum antioxidative activity, ceruloplasmin, and superoxide dismutase) and the level of R proteins were studied in patients with nonspecific aortoarteritis and essential hypertension. Lipid peroxidation and the content of regulatory proteins were increased in the patients, the shifts being the most expressed in nonspecific aortoarteritis of the maximum activity.
