Dynamics of changes in some components of system lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense in servicemen of first year of military service
We fulfilled analysis of the survey results of troops passing a medical examination at the initial military registration, with the call to military service and recognized fit for military service. Material for biochemical studies was plasma and hemolysate prepared from red blood cells. We used advanced spectrophotometric, fluorometric and statistical methods. It was established that recruits activity increased the oxidation of lipids (high concentration of thiobarbituric acid-reactive products), reduced the level of total antioxidant activity of blood and reduced glutathione. After 6 months of military service we found decrease of the content of thiobarbituric acid-reactive products and improvement of the overall antioxidant activity of blood. This data indicates significance calculations of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection in the servicemen. The ratio of activity of oxidative processes and antioxidant components not only reflects, but also largely determines the rate of metabolism and adaptive capabilities of the organism. It was found that young people recognized as fit for military service due to health criteria by military medical commissions and called in the armed forces, have low adaptive capacity and reach the stage of «satisfactory adaptation» only after 6 months of service..
