We sought to examine the effect of moderate hypothermia (30 degrees C to 32 degrees C) initiated after resuscitation on the scavenging systems of free radicals and lipid peroxidation in canine brain tissue after cardiac arrest and resuscitation. ⋯ Moderate hypothermia initiated after resuscitation can significantly inhibit the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products and the consumption of free radical scavengers in the brain tissue.
