The effect of chronic emotional stress on lipid peroxidation (LP) in tissues and blood was studied in "emotional" and "nonemotional" rats. In was established that the content of LP products in the brain, liver and myocardium, the blood content of beta- and pre-beta-lipoprotein hydroperoxides, and peroxide resistance of red blood cells were higher in "emotional" than in "nonemotional" animals. The stress-induced increase in the individual differences as regards LP correlates with the intensity of the pathological somatic manifestations.
