title: [The effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the antioxidant status of Xenopus laevis after its preliminary adaptation to oxygen].
abstract: We studied the level of lipid peroxidation and the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and catalase) in various tissues of adult Xenopus laevis after an initial exposure to hyperbaric oxygenation at the developmental stage 38. We have found that irrespective to the mode of treatment, the level of lipid peroxidation and activity of antioxidant enzymes in the brain, lungs, and blood of these animals were higher as compared to control animals. We demonstrate that, after the exposure of adult animals to hyperoxia, if they were earlier subjected to hyperbaric oxygenation (0.2 MPa) at stage 38, there was no intensification of lipid peroxidation or changes in the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase. In adult animals initially subjected to hyperbaric oxygenation at the same stage of development but at the pressure--0.7 MPa, the second exposure to hyperoxia led to a drastic intensification of lipid peroxidation in the brain; in some animals, an increased level of lipid peroxidation products in the lungs was observed.
