title: [Certain biochemical alterations in the blood of patients with atherosclerosis obliterans of the lower limb arteries].
abstract: The article reviews evidence regarding certain biochemical alterations in the blood of patients diagnosed with atherosclerosis obliterans of the lower limb arteries (AOLLA) before and after surgical treatment. Also analyzed herein are alterations in the levels of nitrogen oxide (as a marker of the endothelial function) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (as one of the key enzymes of the antioxidant system) in blood serum of patients with AOLLA. Statistically significant alterations in the above-mentioned parameters depending on the type of the operative treatment were revealed.
