[The effect of wheat germ oil on the antioxidant system of animals].

An experimental study was made on wheat-germ oil as a source of easily assimilable vitamin E. In rats, the above oil intake results in a rapid increase in the content of vitamin E in the brain, liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, and spleen. There has been studied a change in the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes. It is shown that in oral administration wheat germ oil efficiently saturates the body with vitamin E. In all tissues, the work of the [symbol: see text]-tocopherol redox-system is noted to be stimulated, LPO inhibited, with eicosanoid synthesis proceeding under immediate control of the system of fat-soluble vitamins. The total state of dynamic equilibrium in the LPO-AOA system has effectively shifted to the side of predominance of the AD system components. The total tissue AOA remained stable in most organs.

[The effect of ultraviolet on the structural-functional characteristics of mouse thymocytes].

The changes of peculiarities thymocytes membranes after the UV actions on the suspension cells were investigated. The POL intensivity; content the carotene, vitamins A,E and its metabolites were determined. The state of membrane lipids and proteins was observed by fluorescent zondes. After 15 min of UV action form of the humoral activity products of POL was increased; the redox system of vitamin E was mobilized; the membranes proteins was opened; the neutral lipid fraction in membranes was decreased, and its polarity was increased. After 25 min of UV action was observed: the stimulation of the first and second steps of POL; decreased of AO activity; more opened of membranes proteins; more increased of polarity lipids and reform of lipofility of membranes. This changes lay in the base of activity and passivity of thymocytes by UV.

[The protective action of tocopherol acetate in simultaneous administration with nitrobenzene and its chloro derivatives].

In experiments in albino rats, effects were studied of nitrobenzene and its chloro derivatives in intragastric administration with tocoferolum acetatum. Changes in the process of lipid peroxidation in blood serum, liver, and spleen which were characteristic of xenobiotics themselves have been shown to be less pronounced in this setting. Tocoferolum acetatum being administered at the same time is actively drawn into the metabolism. Normalization of the antioxidant activity of the tissues under investigation was to be observed, with lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant system being in equilibrium. Tocoferolum acetatum administered with xenobiotics has been shown to have a protective action. Tocoferolum acetatum is recommended to be included into diets for workers engaged in chemical industry on a prophylactic basis.

[The antioxidative activity of homogenates and lipids obtained from intact and ischemic organs in rats].

The antioxidative activity of homogenates and lipids isolated from the brain, heart and liver was studied. The model of thermal autoxidation of linetolum in the presence of specimens studied was used. The antioxidative activity of lipids from the heart is higher than that of lipids from the brain. Ischemia of the organs leads to a practically complete loss of these qualities. The contribution of lipids to the general antioxidative activity of the tissue depends on the organ peculiarities. The contribution of lipids from the brain to the general activity is almost 10 times higher than that of lipids from the liver.

[The action of nitrobenzene and its chlorine derivatives on the indices of antioxidative homeostasis in rat tissues].

The authors studied the rate of lipid peroxidation, antioxidative activity and content of vitamin E in the liver and spleen of rats given nitrobenzene, o-nitrochlorbenzene and p-nitrochlorbenezene. The xenobiotics increased LPO, antioxidative activity (AOA), splenic levels of vitamin E. The subchronic influence of the substances led to stabilization of LPO, changes in the activation of the body's adaptation. The AOA and vitamin E play an important role in the regulation of antioxidative homeostasis.

[Lipid peroxidation following ultraviolet irradiation of the blood and the protective action of tocopherol acetate (experimental research)].

Original experimental data are reported on processes occurring in the blood after UV irradiation. A study of the content of primary and secondary products of lipid peroxidation, vitamin E and the resistance of erythrocytes to hemolysis, catalase activity before and after UV irradiation of animals of different age groups revealed that UV irradiation of the blood changes not only the intensity of the process of lipid peroxidation but also the direction of metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids in the blood cells, exchange of semiproducts between them and the plasma, but also weakens the antioxidant systems of the blood. These processes are age-dependent. Preliminary administration of vitamin E preparations secures a high antioxidant homeostasis in the blood, especially after UV irradiation.

[The role of fat-soluble vitamins A and E in preventing the biological effects of ionizing radiation in rat tissues].

The lipid peroxidation level and the antioxidant system status have been studied by the amount of alpha-tocopherol and the antioxidant activity of homogenates in the brain, liver, heart and somatic muscle of rats given Vitamins A and E, as physiological additives, before and after gamma-irradiation. It has been shown that a new dynamic balance between the parameters under study is rapidly set up after irradiation, which represents a mechanism of rapid adaptation. The radioprotective effect of alpha-tocopherol is more pronounced than that of Vitamin A (particularly in the brain). In most cases, Vitamin A produces, upon irradiation, an unfavourable effect on antioxidative homeostasis.

[Redistribution of alimentary vitamin E in tissues of irradiated rats].

The data are presented in this paper concerning the content of lipopigments, vitamin E and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the brain and liver of rats. Excess vitamin E delivered with food was shown to be bound in tissues into complex with MDA. It is suggested that it is a labile form that reserves vitamin E. Irradiation of rats caused impairment of these complex and release of vitamin E, as well as a decrease in the lipopigment fluorescence and increase in the MDA content.

[Age-related characteristics of triglyceride, secondary lipid peroxidation products and alpha-tocopherol levels in the tissues of female rats].

The content of triglycerides, secondary lipid peroxidation products and alpha-tocopherol closely related by complex functional interactions has been studied in the blood plasma, erythrocytes, liver and brain of rat females of all the age groups. The results obtained confirm an essential difference of vitamin E content in the tissues of rat females as against that in tissues of males. It may be a result of susceptibility of these parameters to endocrinic effects and of a particular functional role of alpha-tocopherol in females.

[Age-related features of tocopherol vitamer content in the heart and liver of rats of different ages in health and in ischemia of these organs in vitro].

The experiments on the heat and liver of 1-, 3-, 12- and 24-month-old rats were conducted to study the effect of ischemia for 1 h on the content of tocopherol vitamers in these tissues. The parameters under study were shown to reliably decrease in all the cases. In the liver the content of all the tocopherol vitamers decreased most rapidly in 1-month-old rats. In the heart the most rapid decrease in the content of vitamers was observed in 3-month-old rats. The results observed permit estimating contribution of certain vitamers to remedy injuries caused by ischemia.

[The adaptational changes in lipid peroxidation under the chronic action of an electrostatic field].

Experiments on young puberal Wistar rats have shown that chronic effect of the electrostatic field brings lipid peroxidation (LPO) to a new level of the dynamic equilibrium. Metabolism of lipids proved to be sensitive to this factor. But the systems regulating LPO actively holds a new equilibrium state. Inert LPO products of the lipopigments type can bind vitamin E whose content in tissues remains unchanged.

[Effect of alimentary factors on the production of primary and final products of lipid peroxidation].

In blood plasma, liver, and brain of pubertal female Wistar line rats the level of diene conjugates, fluorescent lipopigments and vitamin E were studied as a function of different diets: control, fish and fish with addition of vitamin E. The obtained results show that in the brain tissue the role of vitamin E as an antioxidant is more pronounced, but dynamical equilibrium between the oxidation substrates and antioxidants after alimentary deficiency of vitamin E is restored in the nervous tissue more slowly than in the liver and blood plasma. In the organism of young animals fluorescent pigments are not accumulated in form of inert products, but behave as normal metabolites.

[Radiation-induced lipid peroxidation, a fish diet and modulation of the effects by vitamin E].

Data are presented in this paper on the effect of vitamin E on rats given a fish diet after whole-body gamma-irradiation. The content of lipid peroxidation products in rat plasma, brain and liver and also the content of vitamin E have been investigated. Irradiation increases lipid peroxidation in the studied tissues and decreases vitamin E content. This process is aggravated by the fish diet. Vitamin E given in addition to fish diet helps the organism to stabilize the antioxidant homeostasis at a qualitatively different level.
