[Changes in the antioxidative activity of blood serum in inflammation].

Local inflammatory process is associated with enhancement of blood sera antioxidative activity (BSAA). The latter phenomenon was demonstrated in rats exposed to burn injury and in man with chronic prostatitis (HP). BSAA increment seems to be intended for limiting of necrosogenic process in inflammatory focus. Adaptive character of BSAA increase is illustrated by results of separate experimental series which proved antiinflammatory and antihypoxic activity of central blood plasma antioxidant-caeruloplasmin.
