Metabolic interrelations between rat brain lipids during geomagnetic perturbations

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2001 Mar;131(3):269-72. doi: 10.1023/a:1017615918990.

Abstract

Lipid components in various brain structures undergo different changes during geomagnetic perturbations. These changes involve synthetase, hydrolase, and transferase biotransformations of lipids. These changes reflect differences in metabolic activities in the left and right cerebral hemispheres and the development of biochemical cerebral asymmetry under the effect of natural stress factors. Changes in lipid metabolism probably reduce adaptive capacities of the organism.
