Abstract
The high activity of glutathione-peroxidase, which detoxifies lipoperoxides, was observed in aorta of intact rabbits. In aorta of animals with pronounced experimental atheromatosis the enzyme activity did not distinctly differ from the control values. The animals with high initial content of glutathione-peroxidase in aorta were less subjected to impairment in alimentary atherosclerosis.
