[Body reactivity and lipid peroxidation in patients with chronic gastroduodenitis living in an area of elevated ionizing radiation].

Reactivity of organism was studied in a total of 48 patients with chronic duodenitis, actually in the zone of increased radiation. Hypo- and normotensive type reactions were found to prevail, each having its peculiar clinical picture. While studying the lipid peroxidation- and antioxidant defence systems, changes were identified in those parameters characterizing the above systems, their degree being higher in blood leukocytes. It is recommended that the data obtained be used for determining a correcting therapy.
