External respiration function, surface-active properties of pulmonary surfactant, autonomic nervous system tonicity, intensity of lipid peroxidation and activity of antioxidant defence enzymes activity were studied in 22 healthy subjects having no adverse reactions to weather changes. It is shown that the organism of healthy subjects respond to unfavourable weather conditions with activation of the antioxidant enzyme and sympathetic effects of the vegetative nervous system.
