Installed
that the gastrointestinal tract is an important endocrine and immunocompetent organ, since up to 70% of all lymphoid tissues of the body are concentrated in it.
The introduction of oxygen mixtures into the stomach and intestines enhances the production of regulatory amines and peptides, as well as cells of the immune system. Due to the normalization of trophism, the functional activity of both local and general immune factors increases.
