The chronic experiments on mongrel dogs with a model pancreatitis showed that mexidol decreases manifestations of the inflammatory process. The treatment with mexidol led to a decrease in the degree of lipid transformations in the initial stage of pancreatitis development, with normaliation of the lipid metabolism according to the liver and blood plasma characteristics. The membranoprotector effect of mexidol, manifested in normalization of the lipid spectrum, is probably related to inhibition of the lipid peroxidation (LPO) process and to a decrease in the activity of phospholipase A2. The correlation between lipid metabolism, LPO, and phospholipase A2 activity in the tissues studied indicates that the therapeutic effect of mexidol in animals with pancreatitis is based on the cytoprotector activity of the drug.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
