We studied the effect of xenogenic neonatal cardiomyocytes on enzymatic processes in rat myocardium under conditions of epinephrine-induced damage. It was found that transplantation of the cell preparation restricts the zone of suppressed enzyme activity in the myocardium and promotes its recovery. Less pronounced metabolic disturbances corresponded to less pronounced morphological changes in the myocardium.
We studied specific features of erythrocyte membrane response to short-term occlusion of the brachial artery in patients with cardiovascular pathology. Under ischemic conditions, processes of sorption were primarily intensified in patients with effort angina and processes of hemoglobin binding with erythrocyte membrane predominated in patients with essential hypertension. These changes in the cell membrane were related to modulation of aggregation properties of erythrocytes (in patients with angina) and plasminogen activity (in patients with essential hypertension). They can also be associated with changes in glucose levels (effort angina) and uric acid (essential hypertension) whose effects can be significantly modified by other endogenous factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
