Abstract
Blood serum and skin Schiff base, blood serum alpha-tocoferol, glutath ion reductase, and phospholipases were examined in guinea pigs after 3 -day applications of oil and mazut on the skin. Blood serum glutathion reductase was found inactivated and alpha-tocoferol level reduced, wh ereas Schiff base content and phospholipase activity increased. The, r esults point to enhanced lipid peroxidation, this being a favorable ba ckground for disease development and relapses in prolonged exposure to oil and mazut.
