[GLUTATHIONE SYSTEM ACTIVITY IN RAT TISSUES UNDER PHENYLETHYL BIGUANIDE ACTION ON THE BACKGROUND OF EXPERIMENTAL BRAIN ISCHEMIA/REPERFUSION DEVELOPMENT].

It was studied the total antioxidant activity, content of primary lipid peroxidation (LPO) products and reduced glutathione, and the activity of glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase in rat tissues under phenylethyl biguanide (phenfor- min) action on the background of experimental brain ischemia/reperfusion development. It is stablished the analyzed parameters, increasing under ischemia/reperfusion conditions in the brain and blood serum of animals, exhibit a decrease upon the introduction of this biguanide derivative. The obtained data can be explained by a decrease in degree of mobilization of the antioxidant system--in particular, of its glutathione chain--in the pathologic state.

[The influense of guanidine derivatives on free radical oxidation intensity and aconitase activity at development of brain ischemia-reperfusion at rats].

The study of some guanidine derivatives influence on free radical oxidation intensity and aconitase activity during the development of brain ischemia-reperfusion at rats has been carried out. The biochemiluminescence parameters increasing at the brain pathology changed toward normal values under the influence of N-[4-(chlorbenzoyl)benztiazol-2-yl]guanidine, N-[imino(1-piperidinyl)methyl]guanidine and N-[imino(4-morpholinyl)methyl]guanidine. The aconitase specific activity decreased in brain and blood of animals with ischemia-reperfusion.
