title: [Sulfhydryl group levels and the succinate dehydrogenase activity in peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with cancer of the stomach].
abstract: In patients with gastric cancer, decrease in the level of SH-groups and activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) of the peripheric blood lymphocytes which is indicative of the disturbance in oxidation-reduction processes was revealed. Degree of decrease in the indices depended on stage of the disease and severity of the course of a pathological process. SDH lymphocytic activity is the more sensitive test than content of SH-groups. The indices mentioned are used as an informative test for evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment.
