The processes of lipid peroxidation (LPO) were studied in rat brain and liver tissues under normal conditions, as well as under conditions of hypobaric hypoxia, since it is known that hypoxia causes the development of LPO in the cells of organism tissues. It has been also studied the influense of dry flowers of Trifolium pratense L. (red clover) and Crataegus laevigata (midland hawthorn) on lipid peroxidation, which triggers by hypobaric hypoxia. It has been shown, that the end product of lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde in rat brain and liver tissues was significantly decreased with the addition of plants flowers to the diet of animals, especially in the case of C. laevigata.
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.
