CONTEMPORARY PERCEPTION OF ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM OF HUMAN ORGANISM

Abstract

Due to recently extended views on the antioxidant system of the human organism, it becomes possible to analyze scientific data on its structure, antioxidants’ role in different processes, dependence of antioxidant activity on different factors and its methods of estimation in different tissues, a farmocorrection possibility due to pathological and age changes. As a result it has been determined that the antioxidant system includes enzyme’s and inenzyme’s antioxidants acting on the intracellular and extracellular levels and participating in many physiological processes; antioxidant activity depends on alimentary and unalimentary factors, antioxidant activity is estimated with the help of alternative methods. Problems of antioxidant activity age changes and its farmocorrection possibility are still debatable.
