title: [Treatment with thymogen and myelopid of patients with bronchial asthma].
abstract: The authors studied the effect of alpha-tocopherol acetate and nicotinamide on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme defense (AED) in red cell membranes of 61 patients with new-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Lipid peroxidation products were found in excessive quantities, whereas enzymes of the cell antioxidant defense were on the decrease. Combination of tocopherol with nicotinamide as adjuvants to conventional insulin therapy promoted normalization of lipid peroxidation and AED, improving beta-cell function. It is believed justified to introduce antioxidant treatment early in the disease onset to prevent toxic damage to beta-cells and vascular endothelium induced by lipid peroxidation products.
