[Several features of the antioxidant action of chemical carcinogens]

Comparative studies of antioxidative effects of phenole inhibitors (vitamine E) amino-and sulfur-containing radioprotectors, and chemical cancerogens on oxidation of unsatured fatty acid were carried out. Some polycyclic hydrocarbons and azo-compounds produce a prolonged and stable decrease of peroxide accumulation rate in oxidized oleic acid. Due to this property in the in vivo systems chemical cancerogenes can induce prolonged stable changes in the parameters of vitally important redox processes.
