Abstract

The pro- and antioxidant statuses of apparently healthy adolescent Tofalar and Evenks of both sexes has been estimated and compared to those of the newcomer Caucasian people. Both girls and boys display an activation of adaptive-compensatory response relative to Caucasian newcomers, which manifests itself as a statistically significant increase in nonenzymatic components of the antioxidant defense system.
