[Protection of beta-adrenoreceptors of the rat brain during emotional-pain stress by oxidants of the steric hindrance class of phenols].

Adaptogenic properties of a new antioxidant-isoquinoline derivative of hindered phenol class under pain-emotional stress have been investigated. This new antioxidant was shown to have stress-protective effects, i.e. it stabilizes cerebral beta-adrenoreceptors, inhibits lipid peroxidation and stimulates anti-radical defense systems in the brain and serum, as well as normalizes vegetative functions in rats.
