Abstract

Intensified catabolism with activated proteolysis caused by stress and high temperature as a physical and chemical factor was found to be the typical response of the human body at the first stage of acute overheating. The data on the glutathione, which detoxifies lipid peroxides and protects proteins from oxidation, showed that hyperthermia strained the body antioxidant mechanisms. The body resistance to overheating depended on its initial status characterized by specific metabolic conditions.
