Abstract
We studied the intensity of free radical oxidation in the liver and activity of oxidative metabolism in mouse peritoneal exudate phagocytes at the early stages of chronic generalized BCG-induced granulomatosis (days 3 and 30 after a single intraperitoneal or intravenous administration of 0.5 mg of BCG vaccine). It was found that both methods of injection did not change the intensity of free radical lipid peroxidation in the liver in comparison with the control, but activity of free radical oxidation mediated by production of hydrogen peroxide was increased in the liver and peritoneal exudate at the stages of mature granuloma formation (day 30). At the same time, intraperitoneal injection contributed to more pronounced activation of lipid peroxidation and synthesis of hydrogen peroxide in the liver.
