The condition is analyzed of the pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance in patients in the acute phase of craniocerebral injury. The higher the degree of craniocerebral injury, the more enhanced are lipid peroxidation processes, the more apparent is the decline in the function of the bodily antioxidant system. Changes in metabolic processes were at their greatest in patients beyond forty four years of age, especially in women with severe craniocerebral injury. The authors recommend including natural and synthetic antioxidants into a complex of measures designed to treat craniocerebral injury.
