ABSTRACT

The antenatal use of nicotinamide and especially alpha-tocopherol in the experiments with premature newborn rats caused a significant decrease in the rate of lipid peroxidation and an increase in catalase activity both in the maternal body and in fetal lung tissue. It is suggested that the drugs can be used to prevent the development of membrane-destructive processes in the fetal and neonatal lung.
