[The biochemical mechanisms of the decrease in work capacity in sailors exposed to high temperatures and the possible...

The studies conducted on experimental animals and volunteers have proved that the increase of adrenalin, histamine, and serotonin ration in blood was caused by hyperthermic conditions. Activation of hormonal systems leads to acceleration of biochemical processes and to reduction of substrates in organs and tissues (such as regenerated glutathione, histidine) which are necessary for normal health status. A conclusion is made that the metabolite depletion of biochemical reactions provoke the reduction of job performance of man in the conditions of hyperthermic influence. Methods of medicamentous therapy are proposed to maintain the normal job performance of seamen in the conditions of unfavourable influence of high temperatures.
