[Characteristics of the antioxidant activity of the blood plasma in patients with hypertension].
A study of the peroxidation of lipids of erythrocytic membranes and blood plasma, antioxidant activity of the blood plasma in 59 patients with hypertensive disease revealed that the initial stages of the disease exacerbation increase of the antioxidant activity is caused by an intensification of peroxidation of cell membrane lipids. A less distinct increase of the antioxidant activity during remission may be due to changes of the blood plasma lipid composition.
