THE ROLE OF OZONE IN ADAPTIVE CHANGES IN THE ERYTHROCYTE LINK

Abstract

The analysis of literature and our own data on the study of the mechanisms of the physiological action of ozone on the erythrocyte link of the blood was carried out. The present article discusses the effect of ozone on the oxygenbinding capacity of blood and its pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance. The effect of this gas manifests itself in different ways under conditions of changing activity of the system of gas transmitters (nitrogen monoxide and hydrogen sulfide) and at different values of the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The antihypoxic effect of ozone is provided with the participation of gas transmitters that realize their action through intraerythrocytic mechanisms of formation of hemoglobin affinity for oxygen, which justifies its use as a means of improving the adaptive and antihypoxic capabilities of the body.
