Three groups of rats (intact, irradiated with 30 Gy of γ-rays and threated after irradiation with the use of pharmacological and metabolic drugs protecting brain against hypoxia were studied. In 24 hours after the influence the animals have undergone the neurobehavioral testing and then were sacrificed, a number of neurochemical parameters depicting energy metabolism and metabolic GABA-bypath in brain were studied (general number of parameters were 24). Using classical method of t-statistics only enhancement of labelled GBA catabolism and deterioration of general behavioral activity were verified, the modifying effect of the pharmacological and metabolic protection against hypoxia was not found. Using methods of multidimensional evaluation the protective and sanogenic character of the used method of therapy was verified. Thus, using discrimination analysis (Mahalanobis criterion) high similarity of intact and treated groups of animals was estimated. It was confirmed using methods of coupled and multiple correlation and method of route coefficients. The statistical connections between neurochemical and neurobehavioral parameters were found which can be useful for understanding of the mechanisms of the early postradiation syndrome development.
