The stress activates glutathione peroxidase in the heart, liver, and kidney, glutathione transferase in the heart and liver, inhibits gamma-glutamyl transferase in the liver; the activity of glutathione reductase and the content of reduced glutathione were unchanged. Two-four-minute hypercapnic hypoxia unchanged the activity of glutathione metabolic enzymes. The activity of the above enzymes decreases in some organs at the death caused by 2-15-minute hypoxia. Long-term intermittent adaptation to hypobaric hypoxia lowers the activity of glutathione peroxidase, -transferase and -reductase. The biological value of the two types of enzymatic responses may be different: stress-induced activation of glutathione metabolic enzymes can enhance resistance to stress and xenobiotics; however, their inhibition during hypoxic adaptation may produce the opposite effect
