Effects of ethanol and limontar in the antenatal period of development on lipid peroxidation process and antioxidant defense system in the brain and liver tissue of fetal and newborn rats]

The process of lipid peroxidation and the system of antioxidant defense in brain and liver of fetuses on the 20th day of gestation and 1 day old rats after antenatal exposure to ethanol and limontar were studied. It was shown that antenatal exposure to ethanol led to activation of the process of lipid peroxidation in brain and to inhibition of of the enzyme system of antioxidant defense in liver of fetal and newborn rats. Limontar promoted the normalization of both the process of lipid peroxidation and the system of antioxidant defense.
