Rat experiments have shown that free radical oxidation processes are activated in the cerebral mitochondrial fraction in the dynamics of craniocerebral injury, which appears as accumulation of malonic dialdehyde and disturbed functional interaction of antiradical protection enzymes. These changes are most marked 24 hours after injury. Some GABA-positive drugs and opioid receptor agonists prevent lipid peroxidation activation. The highest efficiency is displayed by piracetam (1 g/kg) and the synthetic enkephalin analogue DSLET (0.1 mg/kg).
