[The effect of reaferon and alpha-tocopherol on lipid peroxidation in experimental influenza]. / Vliianie reaferona i alpha-tokoferola na protsessy perekisnogo okisleniia lipidov pri éksperimental'noi grippoznoi infektsii.

Reaferon administered to outbred young mice with experimental influenza had a positive effect on morphologic changes in pulmonary tissues and on lipid peroxidation in the blood plasma and pulmonary tissues. Combined use of reaferon and alpha-tocopherol in mice infected with influenza A virus reduced the mortality rate, boosted the antiviral effect of reaferon proper, and led to virtually complete normalization of lipid peroxidation processes in the blood plasma and pulmonary tissues.

[Lipid peroxidation in experimental viral infection and the effect on it of interferons and alpha-tocopherol]. / Protsessy perekisnogo okisleniia lipidov pri éksperimental'noi virusnoi infektsii i vliianie na nikh interferonov i alpha-tokoferola.

Lipid peroxidation as well as effects of various interferons (native, from fibroblasts of new born and adult animals) on the peroxidation were studied in blood plasma, erythrocytes, liver and kidney tissues of mice with viral infection. These interferons, simultaneously with antiviral action, exhibited the positive effect on lipid peroxidation, while the interferon from fibroblasts of newborns produced the side reactions. Simultaneous use of the interferon and alpha-tocopherol removed these side reactions.

Summary. Altogether 187 young children presenting with acute respiratory viral infection were examined for lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense. The principles of the pathogenetically validated antioxidant treatment are discussed.
