[Effect of GABA derivative--RSMU-151 on the development of oxidative stress in rats with experimental gestosis]

Experimental gestosis induced in rats by drinking 1.8% sodium chloride solution instead of water during the entire period of pregnancy leads to activation of lipid peroxidation (LPO) process, as manifested by increased concentration of diene conjugates and malonic dialdehyde, decreased concentration of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) in homogenates of rat brain, liver, uterus, and placenta. The GABA derivatives--RSMU-151 limits the damaging effect of gestosis, which is manifested by a decrease in the concentration of LPO products and by activation of the antioxidant system enzymes in all organs studied.
