title: [Biochemical results of radon treatment].
abstract: Tskaltubo mineral waters have curative value due to radon in it. As biochemical data evidence the quantitative changes of amino acids in blood and disorder in deaminization of amino acids lead to disorder in ammonia utilization. As it is known from literature, increase of ammonia is the determining factor of rising of excitability, a headache, and etc. causing the increase of emotionality and activation of nervous system. Agitation of sympathetic system due to stress increases secretion of prolactin directly or via dopamine suppression. Consequently amount of ammonia is increased and optimal range of sympathetic system is changed; the impact on adrenal glands leads to the pathology of hypothalamus-hypophysis system - hyperprolactinemia, hyperinsulinemia, excitement of centre of hunger, obesity. Analysis of experimental data proves the blocking effect of radon treatment on the development of life style illnesses; which are connected with the reaction of reoxidation and lowering of the immune system.
