Possible mechanisms of rat liver peroxidation of lipids in the recovery period after mechanical asphyxia

Lipid peroxidation was stimulated in rat liver tissue after mechanical asphyxia due to inhibition of the antiradical and antiperoxidase systems simultaneously with an apparent increase in production of free radicals. Lipid peroxidation in liver membranes was maintained at the high level after reanimation despite of normalization (and occasional increase) of the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase.
