increase in the thermo-respiratory response (skin and rectal temperatures, respiration rate), the obtained systemic inflammation (blood leukocytosis, the increase in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, in serum concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines, heat shock protein-70), improvement of the total antioxidant capacity of the blood (increase in the CAT and SOD activity), decrease in the blood markers of tissue damage (MDA concentration and the activity of alanine aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase). The gene discussed is CAT; the disease is Increased total leukocyte count.
