The antioxidant index (AOI) of erythrocytes in the form of the polynomial including, on the one hand, positive value of antioxidant enzymes activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase) and, on the other hand, fixed concentrations of lipid peroxidation products (malonic dialdehyde and diene conjugates). Informative significance of this index together with variance data are shown for different groups of patients. In monitoring of the condition of patients of the course diet therapy AOI may play an essential role.
