    Abstract:
    Low doses of vitamin E (5 mg/kg body weight) and dimethyl sulfoxide (50 mg/kg) given simultaneously orally to albino rats prevented the disturbances of the behaviour and vegetative functions induced by chronic emotional painful stress. The adaptive effect of vitamin E or dimethyl sulfoxide given alone was much lower or altogether absent. The antioxidant combination used decreased the intensity of lipid peroxidation in the brain and blood serum as well as cholesterol content in brain lipids and activated brain superoxide dismutase and nonenzymatic superoxide scavenging activity of the serum. The results obtained suggest that the combination of vitamin E with dimethyl sulfoxide may be used for the treatment of pathological conditions accompanied by lipid peroxidation syndrome.
