Abstract:
The effect of individual components of humic substances of peloid on free radical oxidation processes has been investigated under conditions of oxidative stress induced in albino rats. Biological activity of peloids was determined using such parameters as the general antioxidant activity, activity superoxide dismutases, catalases and glutathione peroxidases on the third and tenth day of the experiment. Results indicate that the state of oxidative stress can be corrected on the third day of the experiment. Humic acids restore not only normal physiological redox systems, but also increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes on the 10th day.
