Abstract—Activation of brain neurotransmitter systems can change the intensity of free radical processes in peripheral tissues and organs. We studied the parameters of free radical balance in the blood of mature male rats under conditions of stimulation of the central neurotransmitter systems (noradrenergic, NAS; serotonergic, SRS; dopaminergic, DPS). The level of products reacting with thiobarbituric acid, catalase activity in plasma, and erythrocyte hemolysate were determined by conventional methods in animals after stimulation of NAS (maprotiline, 10 mg/kg), SRS (5-hydroxytryptophan, 50 mg/kg and fluoxetine, 3 mg/kg), and DPS (L-Dopa and amantadine, 20 mg/kg each). In half of the animals of each group, the indices were determined after a single injection of the β-adrenergic receptor blocker anaprilin (2 mg/kg). Quadruple administration of drugs activating NAS, SRS, and DPS was accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of free radical oxidation products and an increase in the catalase activity of erythrocytes and blood plasma. The administration of a β-adrenergic blocker during stimulation of neurotransmitter systems increases the concentration of free radical oxidation products to a lesser extent but potentiates the catalase activity of erythrocytes. After DPS stimulation, the general shifts in the free radical balance of blood are more pronounced; after stimulation of NAS, they are smaller; and only when SRS is activated, the direction of changes in some indices deviates from the general trends. Thus, administration of drugs activating NAS, SRS, and DPS is accompanied by adaptive changes in the free radical balance of the blood and predominantly weakens its response to the administration of a β-adrenergic receptor blocker.
