We studied the effect of low-intensity extrahigh-frequency (EHF) electromagnetic radiation (EMR) on changes of behavior phenomena in rats observed under conditions of experimentally induced tonic somatic, visceral, and acute thermal pain. Preliminary irradiation of the animals with EHF EMR was found to exert clear antinociceptive effects. Decreases in the intensity of pain reactions were observed under conditions of both single and repeated irradiation sessions.

We studied the effects of pharmacological blockade (by injections of naloxone) of the system of opioid peptides on changes in emotional/behavioral reactions of rats in the open-field test. These changes were caused by the isolated action of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of extrahigh frequency (EHF) and its combination with experimentally induced hypokinetic stress. We conclude that one of the mechanisms of physiological effects of low-intensity EHF EMR is an increase in the functional activity of the system of regulatory opioid peptides; this results in adaptive modifications of the emotional/behavioral reactions under new conditions of the open-field test and provide an anti-stress effect under conditions of hypokinetic stress.

AbstractIntroduction: The search for and creation of drugs with dermatoprotective and metabotropic activity is one of the priorities of modern diabetology. Synthetic organophosphorus compounds with no anticholinesterase activity, to which Dimephosphone belongs to, deserve great attention in this respect. Materials and Methods:Experiments included 355 white non-linear male mice (18-34 g) and 799 male rats (150-305 g). The dermatoprotective activity (DPA) of Dimephosphone regarding the survival of a skin graft was studied against the background of normoglycemia, as well as against the background of experimental diabetes complicated by hypercholesterolemia. The study of microhemodynamics in the skin was performed using laser Doppler flowmetry. The effects on metabolic processes and the antioxidant system were studied by determining the levels of glucose, urea, creatinine, total bilirubin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein, albumin, globulin, catalase, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, glutathione and glutathione peroxidase.Results: Dimephosphone has a pronounced DPA in conditions of reduced blood circulation against the background of normoglycemia and experimental (alloxan) diabetes complicated by exogenous hypercholesterolemia. By DPA, in most cases against the background of normoglycemia Dimephosphone exceeds Actovegine, is comparable to or inferior to Trental and Mexidol, and is more significant in terms of the therapeutic width than all the drugs taken for comparison.Discussion: According to the obtained data , DPA of Dimephosphone may be due to its ability to exhibit significant vasodilating, antihypoxic, antioxidant, antiaggregant, membrane-stabilizing, anti-acidotic, antimicrobial and other properties and also to exert a normalizing effect on carbohydrate, protein, lipid and energy metabolism Conclusion: Dimephosphone can be recommended for further preclinical and clinical studies in the form of various dosage forms, as well as in a combination therapy for metabolic disorders.

We studied the effect of low-intensity extrahigh-frequency (EHF) electromagnetic radiation (EMR) on the duration of a pain behavioral reaction in rats under conditions of experimental induction of tonic pain (formalin test). The antinociceptive effect of EHF irradiation was modulated by suppression of the activity of a few neurochemical systems resulting from the blockade of receptors of opioid peptides, α-and β-adrenoreceptors, receptors of dopamine and melatonin, as well as from inhibition of serotonin synthesis. We demonstrated that all the respective neurochemical systems are to a certain extent involved in the mechanisms underlying the analgesic action of EHF EMR. Within an early phase of pain stress, functioning of the opioidergic and noradrenergic systems and the effects of melatonin play leading roles, while the activity of the serotonergic system plays such a role within the second (tonic) phase.
