Анотація: The objective of this work was to study the activity of glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and the level of sulfhydryl groups in erythrocytes of patients with urogenital trichomoniasis and the effect of metronidazole on the degree of osmotic and peroxide resistance of erythrocytes from healthy donors. We examined 15 patients with urogenital trichomoniasis and 20 healthy volunteers. We studied native preparations, and also carried out a culture method using the Johnson-Trussel nutrient medium (CPLM) to identify Trichomona vaginalis. The activity of glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase and the level of total sulfhydryl groups were determined in erythrocytes of peripheral blood. The membrane effect of metronidazole was evaluated in in vitro experiment by the degree of osmotic and peroxide resistance of erythrocytes from healthy people. It has been established that a significant decrease in glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase activities in erythrocytes is observed, which indicates a violation of the antioxidant system in this pathology. It was shown in vitro experiment, that metronidazole in low concentration (80 μmol /l) has the ability to inhibit erythrocyte hypotonic hemolysis, and high concentration (250 μmol/l) leads to a decrease in osmotic and peroxide resistance of erythrocytes. Thus, inhibition of the activity of the enzymatic link of the antioxidant defense is observed in urogenital trichomoniasis, which is one of the mechanisms for the development of pathology at the cellular level in this disease. It has been shown that the isolated membranotropic action of metronidazole depends on its concentration – the drug at low concentration is able to inhibit hypotonic hemolysis of erythrocytes, and high concentration makes them more sensitive to the osmotic and peroxide hemolysis. The obtained results should be taken into account in the development of complex methods of therapy for urogenital trichomoniasis
