Summary
There is increasing evidence that free radicals are linked to neurological disorders and aging. This study examined the in vivo effect of MAK-4 on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection capacity of the brain of Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits. Brain microsomes of rabbits fed MAK-4 showed significantly lower levels of lipid peroxidation than those of control rabbits fed normal chow. These results indicate MAK-4 may yield increased antioxidant protection in the brain, and may therefore be useful in preventing or treating free radical-induced neurological disorders.
