    [A correlation of the intensity of the gas discharge luminescence of the skin and the activity of succinate dehydrogenase in blood lymphocytes in different states of the body].

    [Article in Russian]

    Abstract

    The integral area of gas discharge luminescence of the hand finger skin and the activity of succinate dehydrogenase in lymphocytes in blood smears from patients with food allergia and attendant hypertension has been measured. Succinate dehydrogenase in these patients was hyperactivated or inhibited as compared with healthy persons. At more substantial deviations of activity, a more clearly pronounced hypertension was observed. The area of luminescence of the skin in some patients was near the upper boundary of norm or was beyond its limits. A high degree of correlation (r = 0.85) between the two parameters has been revealed. At moderate and high succinate dehydrogenase activity, the parameters of gas-discharge visualization decreased; the inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase activity enhances, the gas-discharge visualization increases. This probably indicates the contribution to the irradiation from hand fingers of the superoxide formed in the respiratory chain of mitochondria in the region of coenzyme Q upon its incomplete reduction caused by the inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase.
