[Possible mechanisms of development of biliary diseases under the conditions of the Transbaikal region].
Eighty one patients with various biliary diseases and 36 apparently healthy individuals were examined. There were relatively elevated lipid peroxidation (LPO) products (E 232/220 and E 278/220) in biliary diskynesia and higher concentrations of LPO intermediate products in cholecystitis. In cholelithiasis, the levels of LPO products were lower than those in cholecystitis. E 232/220 and 278/220 may be used for early diagnosis of biliary dysfunctions. Selenium deficiency observed in the Transbaikal region decreases antiradical protection and increases the incidence of biliary diseases.
