The antioxidant and peroxidation parameters in kidney and liver tissues were evaluated, also the fatty acid composition were determined. In liver the synthesis pathway of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) seemed to be more affected than the n-6 PUFA, while in kidney the n-6 pathway was more affected.展开更多
