Carnitine administration (by intraperitoneal injection) to 21-day-old-rats prevents the increase of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (index of lipid peroxidation and free radical damage) induced by 30 min hypobaric hypoxia in four different parts of the brain (cerebral cortex, subcortical structures, medulla oblongata and cerebellum).
