Blood serum was from 12-month-old Wistar rats with experimental myocardial infarction caused by occlusion of the upper third of the left coronary artery was analyzed. The content of conjugated dienes by the 45th day after primary experimental myocardial infarction returned to normal and did not differ from that in intact animals of the same age group. MDA concentration in rats of the treatment group was lower compared to normal. It was demonstrated that normalization of LPO was accompanied by significant exhaustion of the endogenous antioxidant system (SOD and catalase). Our results suggest that special therapy is required for correction of the endogenous antioxidant defense system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
