[Effect of estradiol on lipid peroxidation in skin]

The effects of estradiol on intensity of lipid peroxidation in rats' derma and epiderma have been studied. More high level of lipid peroxidation, correlating with activity of water-solved antioxidants of these tissues in comparison with epidermis has been detected in derma. The level of lipid peroxidation decreased in proportion to hormone concentration when adding estradiol to tissue homogenates in vitro.
