title: [Characteristics of the antihypoxic action of piracetam].
abstract: Pyracetam was found to inhibit free-radical lipid peroxidation, slow oxygen consumption in the liver mitochondria and increase hemoglobin oxygen-binding properties. It is assumed that the ability of pyracetam to inhibit lipid peroxidation is a mechanism which determines its antihypoxic effect.
