[The role of free radical oxidation processes in the morphogenesis of axons of regenerating nerves].

Patterns of lipid peroxidation as well as morphogenesis and differentiation of newly formed axons in regenerating nerve were studied in guinea pigs with experimental syndrome of peroxidation which developed after local gamma-irradiation of right hind legs of the animals maintained on the diet containing no antioxidants. The diet without antioxidants increased the inhibitory and impairing effects of the radiation on differentiation of the regenerating nerve and also caused similar effects in control experiments without the irradiation.
