The aktivity of superoxide dismutase in the whole group declines with age, the aktivity of glutathione peroxidase rises with exposure. As compared with controls, there is an increased aktivity of glutathione peroxidase, a lower concentration of glutathione and higher aktivity of superoxide dismutase. The results suggest a certain degree of free radical aktivity. To obtain more detailed data it will
