State of spatial memory and antioxidant system activity of rats in the dynamics of development of blast-induced traumatic brain injury by Yu.V. Kozlova, H.S. Maslak, O.E. Abraimova, V.V. Koldunov, O.E. Khudyakov

“…The analysis of catalase activity revealed a significant decrease of this enzyme activity in blood plasma of the rats in the experimental group in comparison with rats of sham and intact groups: on day 1 – by 35% (p<0.01), on day 3 – by 27% (p<0.01) and by 12% on day 7 of the post-traumatic period (p<0.05), which indicates the involvement of catalase in the reaction of hydrogen peroxide inactivation. Correlation analysis between spatial memory and catalase activity in experimental rats showed a negative relationship of medium degree on day 1 (r=-0.3, p<0.01) and a negative relationship (r=-0.2, p<0.01) of weak degree on day 3 of post-traumatic period, indicating increased formation of free radicals during this period. …”
