Influence of Polyuronides on Biological Oxidation, Liver Antitoxic Functions, and Erythrocyte Membrane Condition in Lead-Intoxicated Rats

Resumo

The influence of pectin and laminarid NP complex on biological oxidation processes in lead-intoxicated rats was estimated using parameters such as oxidative phosphorylation, ATP synthesis, activities of biological oxidation enzymes, lipid peroxidation, and erythrocyte resistance to osmotic shock and oxidation by oxygen in air, liver antitoxic function, and blood hematological indices. It was established that the polyuronides exhibited antihypoxic, antioxidant, and membrane-stabilizing action.
