In experiments on rats the influence of acupuncture on the lipid peroxidation processes and activities of the antioxidant systems in the gastric mucous membrane, the diencephalon and blood serum at ulcer processes in the gastroduodenal region were studied. It has been determined that acupuncture prevented mainly brain structures from the formation and accumulation of the products of lipid peroxidation that confirmed the neurogumoral influence of acupuncture on the central and peripheral links of ulcer genesis.
