Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a factor in the risk of acute and chronic vascular diseases of the brain. Oxidizing stress developing under these conditions contributes to the progression of atherosclerotic lesions of the brachiocephalous arteries, which makes it necessary to correct the identified pathobiochemical disorders. The use of antioxidant drugs in patients with cerebrovascular diseases and MS helps to reduce such manifestations of the latter as insulin resistance, hyperthyglyceridemia, hyperglycemia. The article presents the results of studies of Mexidol in patients with chronic cerebrovascular diseases against the background of atherosclerosis and MS, demonstrating good prospects for the use of drug compounds of this group with the aim of comprehensive correction of various links in the pathogenesis of developing pathology.
