  • Title: [The characteristics of the enzyme status of the antioxidant protection and the level of lipid peroxidation in the brain tissue and blood of rats with differing preferences for ethanol].
    Author: Burmistrov SO, Borodkin IuS.
    Journal: Farmakol Toksikol; 1990; 53(5):59-60. PubMed ID: 2253754.
    Abstract:
    The ethanol-preferring (EP) rats have a higher level of lipid peroxidation in the brain and blood serum than the water-preferring rats. At the same time it was found that EP rats have a decreased antioxidant enzyme activity in the brain tissue (catalase and superoxide dismutase) and blood serum (ceruloplasmin and superoxide dismutase). This antioxidant status can lead to a greater sensitivity of the EP rat brain to ethanol toxicity. The increased catalase activity in blood of EP rats reflects the elevated metabolic tolerance of this group of animals to ethanol.
