Lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection in plasma and liver of rabbits

Abstract

The research on peroxidation processes showed the presence of higher concentrations of total lipids and TBA-active products in blood plasma and liver tissue in 1- and 15-days old rabbits, which testified for active processes of lipid peroxida-tion. The superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione content and ceruloplasmin activity in plasma and liver tissue of 1- and 15-days old rabbits was negligible. The research on activity and enzymes content of antioxidant system in 60-days old rabbits showed increased activity of catalase, glutathione peroxidase, restored glutathione content and ceruloplasmin in blood plasma and liver tissue.
