[Lipid levels and lipid peroxidation in frog tissues during hyperthermia and hibernation]

Abstract:
The content of cholesterol, phospholipids, free fatty acids in the blood, ketone bodies and lipid peroxidation in the liver, brain, myocardium, skeletal muscles of Rana ridibunda were studied. Changes in the lipid content in blood during artificial hypothermia differ from those during hibernation and arousal. The utilization of reserve fats during hibernation is limited, but significantly rises during arousal. The ability to spontaneous lipid peroxidation under conditions of homogenate incubation at 37 degrees C does not increase in the studied tissues during hibernation.
