-- It was determined the effect of high-altitude exposition time (Morococha - 4540 m) on protein and lipid oxidation from brain of level-sea native guinea pig for different times (1,3,7 and 14 days). It was measured the level of carbonyl groups (CC), malondialdehyde (MDA) and lipids hydroperoxydes (LOOH) as protein and lipid oxidation markers respectively. Also, the activity of antioxidants enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) a mediator of lipid peroxidation were evaluated. The results showed an increase of the CC, LOOH and MDA levels during the first day; CC decreased below the control levels by the third day, LOOH level had a decrease trend in time and MDA kept its higher levels. The activity of both antioxidant enzymes GPx and CAT, increased since the first day. Moreover, the activity of SOD showed an increase up to third day followed by a decrease; the activity of PLA2 increased up to the third day. The dates recorded indicated that the expositions at altitudes for different times affect directly the oxidative process of both protein and lipid. The decrease on the CC level could be caused by the activation of the proteolytic system, especially the activation of calcium-dependent proteases as calpains or the proteasomal system which could degrade damaged proteins by EROs. The exposition of altitude might affect the activity of antioxidant enzymes, especially GPx, which could play an important role in the detoxification of LOOH.
