Abstract
Authors studied the activities of Na+-K+-ATP-ase and Mg++-ATP-ase as indicators of lipid peroxidation on rat brain plasmamembrane and microsomal fraction. The CH 402 (Sodium(2,2-dimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline-4-yl)methane sulfonate) a synthetic, water soluble, non toxic dihydroquinoline type antioxidant proved to be effective in decreasing the membrane damage caused by ascorbic acid induced lipid peroxidation. The CH 402 did not inhibit the Na+-K+-ATP-ase and Mg++-ATP-ase activities even at a concentration of 10(-3) mol/l.
