[Lipid peroxidation and retinal damage in stress]. 1982

It is shown that in rats exposed to emotional-pain stress, the electric activity of the retina is inhibited (the magnitude of electroretinogram waves is lowered). At the same time the products of lipid peroxidation accumulate and the content of the natural antioxidant alpha-tocopherol decreases in the retina. Preliminary administration to the animals of synthetic antioxidants (4-methyl-2,6-ditretbutylphenol, OP-6 belonging to the hydroxypyridine series) prevents the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products and protects the electric activity of the retina.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008054 Lipid Peroxides Peroxides produced in the presence of a free radical by the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the cell in the presence of molecular oxygen. The formation of lipid peroxides results in the destruction of the original lipid leading to the loss of integrity of the membranes. They therefore cause a variety of toxic effects in vivo and their formation is considered a pathological process in biological systems. Their formation can be inhibited by antioxidants, such as vitamin E, structural separation or low oxygen tension.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction

D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
