Abstract

In adolescents with hypoandrogeny (HA), an imbalance is recorded in the ratio of the processes of free radical oxidation (FRO) and antioxidant protection (AOP). In a third of patients, the concentration of TBA-active products increases, in half of them, the level of carbonylated proteins and the coefficient of oxidative stress increases and the activity of anti-peroxide enzymes decreases. The results indicate the formation of oxidative stress in boys with HA, the main initiator of which is the inhibition of the AOP system.
