[Lipid complex in subpalatine tonsils in normal state and pathology].

A fat-acid compound of lipids in the subpalatine tonsils was studied by gas chromatography in normal state, chronic tonsillitis and hypertrophy of tonsils. We have determined that in saturation of the lipid complex raised in the subpalatine tonsils due to an increase in the level of arachidonic acid. It gives evidence for an activation of the lipid peroxidation leading to a pathological process.
