Lipid peroxidation products, antioxidant system parameters, somatotrophic hormone, corticosteroids, fibronectin, and cyclic nucleotides were measured in the blood of 119 patients with open-angle glaucoma and mature senile cataract before and after a course of exposure of the eyeball to He-Ne laser. Statistically significant changes in the examined parameters were revealed, explaining to a great measure the antiinflammatory and vasodilating effects of laser and its ability to intensify the repair processes.
