[Characteristics of the antioxidant system of alveolar surfactant in immediate-type allergies].
The antioxidant system (glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase, total antioxidant activity) of the lung surfactant has been studied for and intensity of peroxidation in that surfactant after administration of sensitizing and resolving doses of the allergen to animals. An increase in the amount of lipid peroxidation products as well as in activity of superoxide dismutase followed by a fall of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activity was observed in the lung surfactant 3 and 12 days after introduction of a sensitizing dose of the allergen. Intensification of 5-lipoxygenase activity and accumulation of malonic dialdehyde in the lung surfactant under the anaphylactic shock were accompanied by inhibition of activity of the glutathione-dependent antioxidant system glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase) as well as by a fall of antioxidative activity of the surfactant. The data obtained have evidenced for a imbalance between the induction and metabolism systems of lipid hydroperoxides in the respiratory organs under immediate allergies.
