Aim. Determine the condition of the gums in rats receiving oral applications of peroxide sunflower oil (PSO).Methods. PSO was obtained by heating sunflower oil in the presence of Н2О2 at +180°С for 60 minutes. PSO in a dose of 0.5 ml per rat was applied to the oral mucosa for 3 or 5 days. The activity of elastase, urease, lysozyme, catalase and the content of MDA (malondialdehyde) were determined in the gum. The antioxidant-prooxidant API index was calculated by the ratio of catalase and MDA, an
