[Article in Russian]

Abstract

Experimental studies helped to reveal ultrastructural changes in hepatocytes, caused by prolonged exposure to heavy metals salts taken in combination and ratios characteristic to soil contents near Almalyk mining and smelting enterprise. The authors demonstrated possibility of liver structural recovery via enterosorption with additional antioxidant therapy.
