[Increased activity of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase as the result of adaptation to long-term oxygen therapy].
Activity of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) was assessed in 17 patients with decompensated chronic cor pulmonale and in 15 healthy volunteers. Also the serum levels of uric acid and hematological parameters were analyzed. Recordings were made in ten day intervals during long term oxygen therapy. The authors have found the increase of SOD activity in the treated patients which can be interpreted as a generalized adaptation of the organism to long term oxygen therapy.
