[The effect of chemotherapeutic drugs on free-radical oxidation of lipids in the lymph of lung cancer patients]. / Vliianie khimiopreparatov na protsessy svobodno-radikal'nogo okisleniia lipidov v limfe bol'nykh rakom lëgkogo.

Indices of lipid peroxidation in lymph from lung cancer patients before and after chemotherapy were studied. Chemotherapeutic drugs were shown to exert a moderate stressor effect on lymph by triggering oscillating reactions of endogenous antioxidant systems. Stress releases a pool of low-molecular weight antioxidants. Absence of catalase activity in plasma and lymphocytes is a peculiar feature of lymph in lung cancer patients.
