Abstract: | It was established that water deprivation during 3, 6, 9 days caused a distinct decrease in phospholipid level and disturbances of phospholipid composition in the rat lung tissue. It was accompanied by alterations in the activity of antioxidant defense system enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, catalase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). These data are indicative of lipid peroxidation intensification in the rat lungs during water deprivation. |
