NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND ITS CORRECTION UNDER CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE LUNG DISEASE
<i>Summary </i>- The paper is aimed to estimate possibility of correcting nutritional status under chronic lung disease with functional meat products and biologically active additive Timarin. 67 sick and 20 healthy study volunteers were examined for nutritional status: screening interviews, anthropometry, laboratory tests (including 6 and 10 interleukin level, tumour necrosis factor , and oxidative index detection). The traditional therapy was supplemented with anti-oxidant Timarin in 10 cases, and meat functional products in 34 cases. As indicated, the functional food products and the antioxidant have positive effect on the nutritional status of patients suffering from chronic obstructive lung disease by stimulating bodyweight increase, increasing albuminemia level and decreasing inflammatory and oxidative activity in blood.
