title: [Antioxidative defense parameters in acute and chronic cholecystitis].
abstract: A hundred and fifty-two patients cholelithiasis were examined. Among them, 69 and 83 patients were operated on for acute destructive and chronic cholecystitis, respectively. In destructive cholecystitis, there is a high lipid oxidation rate accompanied by the elevated levels of nonenzymatic antioxidant ceruloplasmin. The low activity of catalase and ceruloplasmin and the decreased content of ascorbic acid suggest the depletion of antioxidative defense in patients with cholelithiasis with significant liver disease. The magnitude of changes in the activity of antioxidative enzymes and the level of the nonenzymatic antioxidant ascorbic acid depend on the state of the liver.
