Summary/Abstract: Influence of tryptophan on the tyrosine aminotransferase and arginase activities in a rat’s liver and on the degree of erythrocytes peroxide hemolysis under oxidative stress induced by cobalt or mercury chloride was studied. Tryptophan restricts to arginase activity increase after the both salts introduction. The cobalt chloride intensifies erythrocytes hemolysis. The tyrosine aminotransferase activity increased in all cases. Possible mechanisms of the tryptophan action under conditions of oxidative stress are discussed.
