Aim: To study the predominant serum responses (antibodies IgG, IgA, IgE) against H. pylori in relation to the indicators of the system “lipid peroxidation–antioxidant system” in various pathogenetic variants of chronic gastritis (CG). Materials and Methods: Sixty patients with CG, 33 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) and 31 patients with chronic allergic gastritis (CALG) were examined. The values of the system of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection in plasma were determined in the serum of patients using a spectrophotometric method. Statistical data processing was carried out using the Statistica 7.0 software package (StatSoft, Tulsa, OK, USA). Results: With serum responses “antibodies IgG > IgA” and “high concentrations of IgE antibodies”, we found unidirectional changes in the form of an increase in the amount of diene conjugates, malondialdehyde and an increase in the activity of all enzymes: superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase. With a serum response with low concentrations of IgG, IgA antibodies, multidirectional changes were found in the form of an increase in the amount of diene conjugates, malondialdehyde and a decrease in the activity of all enzymes: superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase relative to the control group. Conclusions: The obtained data testify to the balance of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system processes and depend on the characteristics of the immune response to H. pylori infection. |
