The influence of the original vegetable complexes (which include: juices of beet-rout and carrot, decoction of degrose berries, extracts of corn silk, leaves of peppermint and some other components) on the indicators of the cytolysis, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system of serum of the laboratory rats with acute toxic hepatitis, was investigated. The vegetable complexes exhibited antioxidant effects which were proved by the reduction of the final and intermediate products of lipoperoxidization, the absence of decline of the level of endogenous alpha-tocopherol content and glutathione dependent enzymes.
