Crystalloscopic Analysis of Metabolic Effects of Singlet Oxygen: In Vitro Study

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of reactive oxygen species on the nature of dehydration structuring of blood plasma. The study was performed on 10 whole blood samples of practically healthy volunteers, divided into 3 equal portions. The first one (control) was not manipulated, the second was treated with an ozone-oxygen mixture (ozone concentration – 500 mcg/l), and the third - with a flow from a singlet oxygen generator “Airnergy” (power – 100%). The crystallogenic activity of blood serum was studied by classical crystalloscopy using a system of semi-quantitative indicators. It was stated that the considered reactive oxygen species (ozone and singlet oxygen intermediates) increase the crystallogenic properties of blood plasma, and this effect is more pronounced with respect to the flow from the singlet oxygen generator.
