title: Effects of lithium salts on lipid peroxidation activity of synaptosomes and kidney homogenates.
abstract: Lithium carbonate increased the lipid peroxidation while lithium sulphate and lithium chloride had no significant effects on lipid peroxidation activity of rat cerebral cortex synaptosomes and kidney homogenates. However, lithium chloride plus sodium carbonate significantly increased the lipid peroxidation activity of kidney homogenates. It is concluded that accompanying anions of lithium salts might play a major role in the increase of lipid peroxidation of both synaptosomes and kidney homogenates.
