Phylo- and ontogenetic aspects of lipid peroxidation and antioxidative enzyme system in the retina of vertebrates were studied. It was established that both the intensity of lipid peroxidation and the activity of glutathione peroxidase in the retina of different vertebrate animals (carp, frog, tortoise, pigeon, rabbit) considerably diminished with evolution. The differences in the intensity of lipid peroxidation and the activity of glutathione peroxidase between dark- and light-adapted retinas also decreased depending on the level of the development. The activity of glutathione peroxidase in the retina of chick embryos was found only at the end of the incubation period.
