[Guidelines to estimating the parameters of oxidative stress upon exposure to man-made environmental factors]

The authors developed new methods for non-invasive diagnosis of the body's antioxidative balance, by using the kinetic characteristics of spontaneous and induced luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of an expirate. Comparative studies revealed a higher risk of diminished antioxidative protection for younger groups of the population; the total negative influence of techogenic effects and unbalanced nutrition is significant. Normalization of an antioxidative process as one of the mechanisms of formation of the body's non-specific resistance was observed in 90% of cases during medicobiological monitoring.
