Abstract
Evolutionary stages of the development of an antioxidative system within the human organism are shortly considered and the technique for measurement of blood plasma parameters, which reflect the state of antioxidative homeostasis, based on thermo-initiated chemiluminescence of azo compounds in the presence of luminol, is described. Parameters suitable for quantitative estimation of the degree of oxidative stress and the efficiency control of causal and adjuvant antioxidative therapy in the course of primary and secondary prevention of civilization illnesses are recommended. A special attention is focused on sports activities as the most accessible and effective way of achieving the specified preventive purposes.
