Короткий опис (реферат):
The immune system is continually exposed to various environmental pathogens and xenobiotics, including heavy metals such as lead, and appears to be one of the most vulnerable targets. The effects of lead poisoning are most critical for children because their bodies are growing and developing. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that in low- and middle-income countries, to which Ukraine belongs, there are no such state programs for the primary and secondary prevention of lead lesions that operate in developed countries. In Ukraine, all these negative factors are joined by such as active hostilities in a large part of the territories for three years. Therefore, the problem of assessing the accumulation of lead in the organism of Ukrainian children and the development of methods for the prevention and treatment of chronic lead lesions of their immune system is urgent. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness of dietary fiber (DF) in reducing blood lead concentrations (BLC) and improvement of cellular immunity indicators in Ukrainian children.
