Adaptive and disadaptive reactions of the body in representatives of the indigenous ethnic group of Eastern Siberia

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the processes of lipid peroxidation – antioxidant protection in girls and women, representatives of Caucasians and Mongoloids suffering from type 1 diabetes. It has been shown that in the presence of type 1 diabetes mellitus, Mongoloid girls and women have a lower intensity of lipoperoxidation processes and a higher activity of the antioxidant system compared to Caucasian girls and women. The revealed ethnic differences in metabolism in type 1 diabetes suggest the manifestation of adaptive capabilities in the indigenous population of Siberia (Mongoloids) and the development of disadaptation in the alien population (Caucasians).
