[Responses of the glutathione system in patients with ulcerative pyloroduodenal stenosis before and after surgery].
Studied among indices for the glutathione system in 99 patients was content of total, oxidized, reduced glutathione. The studies made suggested that in patients beyond 60 years of age there are profound inadequecies in the glutathione system manifested by an apparent reduction in total, reduced glutathione and augmentation of the oxidized form in the blood. Surgical treatment in the above patient population has not been found to be associated with bringing all studied forms of glutathione back to normal, which fact attests to the need for quest of drugs-antioxidants to be employed in the complex of postsurgery curative measures.
