Abstract The effect of adrenalin and hydrocortisone on free-radical oxidation of lipids in erythrocytes was investigated in experiments on rabbitsin vivo with modified lipid metabolism. Adrenalin in a dose of 0.1 mg/kg and hydrocortisone in a dose of 5 mg/kg were found to cause an, increase in the concentration of hydroperoxides of fatty acids. The results confirm the view that adrenalin and hydrocortisone, in experimentsin vivo, have antioxidative properties which are evidently indirect in character, associated with their lipid-mobilizing effect.
