Abstract: | An imbalance in the first line of the antioxidant defence and hyperactivity of the glutathione-dependent system were revealed in 137 youths with mitral valve prolapse. Increased activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase (by 6 and 1.82–2.10 times, respectively) can serve as an additional diagnostic criterion of decreased compensatory reserves in patients with mitral valve prolapse. __________ Translated from Byulleten’ Eksperimental’noi Biologii i Meditsiny, Vol. 143, No. 5, pp. 519–521, May, 2007 |
