title: [Alpha-tocopherol protection of erythrocytes from hemolysis induced by thermal injury].
abstract: It is shown that skin burn is accompanied by activation of lipid peroxidation (accumulation of TBA-reactive substances and of fluorescent end-products) in the blood of experimental animals. The decrease in red blood cell membrane stability was demonstrated exerting as increase in the rate of spontaneous hemolysis, content of extraerythrocyte++ haemoglobin and increased sensitivity to exogenous oleic acid. It is estimated that alpha-tocopherol possesses protective stabilizing effect on red blood cell membrane. This stabilizing action is observed when alpha-tocopherol was injected both before the skin burn and immediately after it. It is concluded that two different mechanisms are responsible for stabilizing effect of tocopherol, namely: 1) antiradical, realized via inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and 2) non-antioxidant, caused by interaction of tocopherol with phospholipid hydrolysis products by phospholipases A2 (free fatty acids and lysophospholipids).
