| Abstract: | Lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the brain and blood of guinea-pigs was studied during experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. The most pronounced activation of LPO in the brain occurred at the 7th day of sensitization with encephalolitogenic emulsion. It manifested by an increase in the content of diene conjugates and malonic dialdehyde, activation of catalase and reduction of superoxide dismutase activity. LPO activation in the blood occurred at the 3th-5th day of sensitization. It is assumed that LPO activation is caused by antigen-antibody reaction that occurs in the blood at the 3d day and in the brain at the 7th day of sensitization. |
