[Influence of occupational dusts load on state of antioxidant system in miners engaged in diamond extraction industry].

Miners of diamond extraction industry in Yakutia demonstrated higher intensity of lipid peroxidation. Longstanding compensatory adaptive response to increased free radical oxidation and to unfavorable climate factors is higher superoxide dismutase and catalase and changes in protein metabolism. Lack of C and E vitamins in miners results from increased utilization due to strain of antioxidant defence mechanisms.
