[Age-related characteristics of triglyceride, secondary lipid peroxidation products and alpha-tocopherol levels in the tissues of female rats].

The content of triglycerides, secondary lipid peroxidation products and alpha-tocopherol closely related by complex functional interactions has been studied in the blood plasma, erythrocytes, liver and brain of rat females of all the age groups. The results obtained confirm an essential difference of vitamin E content in the tissues of rat females as against that in tissues of males. It may be a result of susceptibility of these parameters to endocrinic effects and of a particular functional role of alpha-tocopherol in females.
