    Abstract:
    For studying the mechanism of hyperoxia toxic effect on metabolism in the rat brain localization of lysosomes enzymes - acid phosphatase, DNase II and acid peptid-hydrolases were investigated in the brain subcellular fractions under different phases of oxygen poisoning and in the in vitro experiments. Under hyperoxia redistribution of the lysosome enzymes is found between the fraction enriched with lysosomes and the soluble one. The character of redistribution evidences for disturbance of permeability in the brain lysosome membranes under hyperoxia. Urea possessing a protective effect under these conditions prevents from labilization of lysosome enzymes which is evoked by the effect of oxygen hyperoxia. When studying manifestation of the effect of lysosome hydrolases release on the substrate level there were found constancy of DNA content in the brain under hyperoxia and a decrease in polymeric property of the brain DNA an hour after the beginning of the terminal phase of oxygen poisoning.
