"Study of total antioxidant activity of human serum blood in norm and pathology of mental diseases";
Molecules, 18 (2013), 1811 - 1818.

The total antioxidant activity (TAA) of human serum blood of patients suffering
from alcoholism was tested by cathode voltammetry with a model process of oxygen
electroreduction. A known spectrophotometrical method was used for comparison. As
results the total antioxidant activity of serum blood of patients with alcoholism was
estimated by voltammetry during therapy in hospital. It was shown the TAA of serum
blood of patients in pathology before and after treatment is lower than that one of healthy
people. However, during the process of 10 days of alcoholism treatment the TAA
coefficient increases. The relationship between the coefficient of total antioxidant activity
of human serum blood and the stage of treatment was detected.
