[Effect of thermal injury and middle molecular weight peptides on plasma chemiluminescence]

Thermic trauma altered the most of patterns of blood plasma chemoluminescence, which appear to occur as a result of specific shifts in metabolic dynamics in the patients with burns trauma. The patterns of blood chemoluminescence may reflect not only the rate of free radical reactions and lipid peroxidation but as well as the specific response of the neuro-humoral system to trauma. Alterations in content of middle molecular peptides in blood might be among factors responsible for the chemoluminescence intensity.
