  • Title: [Lipid peroxidation processes in chronic bronchitis].
    Author: Ignatova GL, Volchegorskiĭ IA, Volkova EG, Kazachkov EL, Kolesnikov OL.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1998; 70(3):36-7. PubMed ID: 9575586.
    Abstract:
    AIM: Comparison of the levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products in condensate of the exhaled air (CEA) and in the biopsy samples from the inflammation focus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Extraction spectrophotometry was used to measure LPO products in CEA and biopsies from 30 males aged 30-60 years suffering from chronic bronchitis and 30 healthy controls of the same age. RESULTS: There was activation of local accumulation of isopropanol-soluble LPO products in the bronchopulmonary system accompanied by lowered content of lipoperoxides and high antioxidant activity in CEA. CONCLUSION: Chronic bronchitis is characterized by multidirectional shifts in LPO in the inflammation focus and CEA.
