Gender differences in parameters of lipid metabolism and of level of antioxidants in groups of juveniles—the Even and the Europeans

There was performed a comparative evaluation of the mean values of lipid metabolism parameters in youths and girls of the indigenous population (the Even), of the coming population of the north of Irkutsk province, and of the province center (the Europeoids). Gender differences in HDLP have been revealed in adolescents of the coming population, in the glutathione status and the content of liposoluble vitamins in the Even and coming adolescents and in retinol concentration in the province center adolescents. Adaptive changes in the ROS system were found in the Even girls (the higher α-tocopherol and GSH concentrations and the GSH/GSSG ratio as well as a decrease of GSSG relative to the Even youths and the coming population girls, an increase of α-tocopherol relatively to the coming population Europeoids) and youth of the coming population (the higher GSH content and the GSH/GSSG parameter relatively to the Even youths).
