The effect of histamine and quercetin, as well as their combined effect on the activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase and the content of reduced glutathione in the blood plasma of rats was studied. It was found that the addition to the blood of quercetin at a concentration of 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 1.0; 5.0 mM causes an increase in superoxide dismutase activity. It was found that histamine at concentrations of .01 and 0.1 μm leads to a decrease in superoxide dismutase activity by 31 and 17 %, respectively. Whereas the biogenic amine in the lowest and highest concentrations does not change the activity of superoxide dismutase in plasma. At simultaneous introduction into blood of histamine in the maximum concentration (10.0 μm) and quercetin in concentration of 0,1; 0.5; 3.0 mM normalizes the activity of superoxide dismutase. And only the combined action of histamine of this concentration and quercetin at a concentration of 5.0 mM reduces the activity of the enzyme by 21 %. Histamine at a concentration of 0.01 μm and the simultaneous action of quercetin at a concentration of 0.1; 0.5; 3.0; 5.0 mM increases the activity of superoxide dismutase, which indicates the generation of reactive oxygen species, in particular the superoxide anion radical. It was found that the addition of whole concentrations of quercetin to whole blood causes a decrease in plasma catalase activity. The combined action of quercetin and histamine causes a decrease in catalase activity. It was found that the addition to the blood of quercetin at a concentration of 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 1.0 mM causes a decrease in the content of reduced glutathione. Quercetin at a concentration of 3.0 and 5.0 mM causes an increase in reduced glutathione by 27 and 14 %, respectively, compared to the reference plasma. Histamine at concentrations of 10.0, 1.0 and 0.01 μm leads to an increase in the amount of reduced glutathione by 24, 26 and 19 %, respectively. And at a concentration of 0.1 μm, the biogenic amine reduces the GSH content by 39 %. With simultaneous introduction into the blood of histamine at a concentration of 10.0 μm and quercetin at a concentration of 0.1; 0.5; 3.0 mM there is an increase in the content of reduced glutathione. And only at a concentration of 5.0 mM quercetin on the background of the action of histamine (10.0 μm), the content of reduced glutathione is slightly reduced. However, with the combined action of histamine at a minimum concentration (0.01 μM) and quercetin at a concentration of 0.1; 0.5; 3.0 and 5.0 mM there is a decrease in the content of reduced glutathione. After performing a dispersion analysis, it was found that the state of the antioxidant system, both enzymatic and non-enzymatic, is significantly affected by histamine. The smallest, but significant share of the effect is on the action of quercetin in the blood plasma of rats. The indirect and significant effect of the simultaneous action of histamine and quercetin on the antioxidant system of rat plasma was revealed.
