[Effect of the functional state of the central nervous system on brain lipid peroxidation processes in experimental...

Interrelationship between the functional state of central nervous system and brain metabolism was studied in animals with craniocerebral trauma. Stimulation of nervous activity was shown to prevent an increase in lipid peroxidation in brain of the experimental animals. A distinct decrease of the brain antioxidative activity was also noted. Lipid peroxidation and antioxidative activity were markedly impaired in the animals with craniocerebral trauma either after depression of central nervous system or without any additional treatment.
