title: [Various indicators of the lipid composition of erythrocyte membranes in healthy persons and in chronic alcoholics in the northeastern part of the USSR].
abstract: Some indices of red blood cell membranes lipid composition were studied in normal subjects and alcohol abusers inhabitants of the North-East of the USSR. Increased lipid peroxidation in newcomers was explained by a greater unsaturation level of membrane fatty acids and exhausted lipid antioxidants. Decreased peroxidation in subjects inhabiting the region for over 15 years, native-borns and chronic alcohol abusers could be accounted for by an increase in membrane cholesterol content. The data suggest that lipid peroxidation is a common mechanism of these events.
