title: [Effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on activity of glutathione-dependent enzymes in the liver cytosol and blood erythrocytes in rats with experimental chronic bronchitis and in the norm].
abstract: The influence of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFA) on the activity of glutathione reductase, glutathione transferase and glutathione peroxidase in the liver cytosole and red blood cells of normal rats and animals with experimental chronic bronchitis. omega-3 PUFA ("Tekom" medication) activate glutathione reductase of liver cytosole and glutathionperoxidase in the red blood cells in rats. In the rats with chronic inflammatory process in bronchia omega-3 PUFA corrects the glutathione-dependent systems of detoxication. Effects were more expressed in the liver cytosole in comparison with the red blood cells. The using of omega-3 PUFA as a means for treatment and prophylaxis was more effective than for treatment only.
