METHOD FOR ASSESSING ANTIOXIDANT PROTECTION OF HUMAN BODY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N33/52 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: chemical elements are measured in human blood by X-ray fluorescence using synchrotron emission; a ratio of the total chemical elements with the prooxidant properties to the total chemical elements with the antioxidant properties is calculated by formula: $$АОP=\frac{{\displaystyle \sum _{i=1}^n{x}_i}}{{\displaystyle \sum _{i=1}^n{y}_i}},$$ wherein x_i is the total chemical elements in the human blood with the prooxidant properties; y_i is the total chemical elements in the human blood with the antioxidant properties; n is a quantity of the measured chemical elements in the human blood measured to the similar ratio of the chemical elements for a 'nominally healthy person'; if the derived antioxidant protection is more than that for the 'nominally healthy person', the antioxidant protection of the human body is stated to reduce.

EFFECT: higher objectivity and reliability of assessing the antioxidant protection of the human body.
