Abstract

Exposure of rats to cold stress leads to the accumulation of conjugated dienes and Schiff's bases and decreases superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. Plasma levels of extraerythrocytic hemoglobin and iron and the total peroxidase activity increase. This indicates destablization of the erythrocyte plasma membrane in stress. Exogenous δ-sleep-inducing peptide decreases the intensity of lipid peroxidation by increasing the activity of the antioxidant enzymes and stabilizes the structure of the erythrocyte plasma membrane.
