    Abstract:
    In semi-aquatic mammals (minks and muskrats) significant changes were found to occur in the leukocyte formula during adaptation to hypoxia, as compared with non-adapted rats and mice, although no increase in lipid peroxidation was found in any of their organs. This latter finding seems to be due to simultaneously enhanced activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. In humans under professional stress, treatment with combined technology of adaptation: cold-and-hypoxic exposure, yields a positive therapeutic result accompanied by a decrease in lipid peroxidation and increase in superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in the blood. The data obtained suggest that the strategy of formation of protection against hypoxia and toxic free radical oxidation is common for the animals and humans.
