Abstract
Lipid peroxidation in the lungs and blood are activated while DNA synthesis in the tracheal epithelium and hepatocytes is inhibited during the first five days of postnatal life in rat pups after severe prenatal hypoxia. Intraperitoneal injection of the undecapeptide pGlu-Pro-Pro-Glu-Glu-Ser-Lys-Val-Ile-Leu-Phe, a peptide morphogen isolated from the hydra, before hypoxia normalizes lipid peroxidation in the lungs and blood of the five-day-old pups. A compensatory activation of DNA synthesis occurs in tracheal epithelium and hepatocytes.
