Оригинальные исследОвания Экспериментальная медицина В окружающей среде содержится огромное количество металлов, одни из которых являются необходимыми для жизнедеятельности человека и животных (Zn, Fe, Mn, Ca, Mg), другие-крайне токсичными для них (Pb, Cd, hg) [1]. Концентрация этих элементов в тканях зависит от дозы, пути поступления в организм, скорости выведения, состояния здоровья, характера питания и т. д. [3]. Цинк содержится примерно в 200 ферментах и необходим для оптимального развития и функционирования зубов и костей. Слишком высокие и чрезмерно низкие концентрации цинка в костной ткани являются причиной постепенной потери костной массы [2]. Свинцовая интоксикация приводит к анемии, вызывает поражение нервной системы, почек, оказывает токсическое влияние на кости [4, 5, 7, 8]. Влияние свинца и цинка на костную ткань, по-видимому, обуслов-лено конкурентными взаимоотношениями между ними и кальцием [6]. поэтому представляется интересным изучение сравнительного содержания этих элементов в костной ткани при свинцовой и цинковой интоксикации и в условиях измененного кальциевого гоместазиса. Целью работы было изучение влияния экспериментальной гипо-и гиперкальциемии на содержание кальция, свинца и цинка в бедренных костях крыс в условиях кратковременной свинцовой и цинковой интоксикации. Материал и методы. Исследование выполнялось на крысах-самцах линии Вистар, массой 200-300 г, разделенных на 26 экспериментальных групп (по 10 крыс в каждой): 1) интактные животные; 2) ложнооперированные животные; 3) паратиреоидэктомированные животные (ГПТ); 4) животные с подкожным введением кальцитонина (КТ); 5) животные с экспери
Purpose: To examine the possibility of using vitamin E for the correction of free radical oxidation disorders and haemodynamic effects of potassium bichromate. Methods: Experiments were performed in 90 male Wistar rats; the study included 9 experimental groups. Vitamin E and sunflower oil (control) were injected daily intragastrically through an atraumatic tube into the stomach. At the end of the experimental period (30 days and 60 days), the main parameters of systemic hemodynamics and values of lipid peroxidation were measured. Differences between groups were analyzed using Student’s t-test. Results: The analysis of basic parameters of systemic haemodynamics showed that PO administration of potassium bichromate promoted an increase in mean arterial pressure due to the increase in normalized peripheral vascular resistance (systemic vascular resistance, SVR). At the same time there was a decrease in the stroke volume index. The haemodynamic effects of chromium were more pronounced with prolonged administration. Parameters of systemic hemodynamics in combined administration of potassium bichromate and sunflower oil changed similarly to the effects of combined administration of the metal and vitamin E, but changes were less pronounced. A decrease in SVR and the restoration of the stroke volume index were observed. The isolated administration of the metal for thirty days resulted in an increase in lipid peroxidation (LPO) accompanied by a stimulation of catalase and superoxide dismutase activity. During prolonged (2 months) isolated administration of potassium bichromate, a more pronounced increase in LPO was observed along with the depletion of the antioxidant system. The prevention of chromium intoxication using vitamin E during the first month of administration reduced lipoperoxidation phenomena accompanying increased antioxidant defense activity. These dynamics persisted after two months of the combination of vitamin E and potassium bichromate. Conclusions: The intragastric administration of potassium bichromate for 30 and 60 days resulted in arterial hypertension in a rat model. The administration of toxic doses of potassium bichromate to laboratory animals may lead to the activation of lipid peroxidation. The administration of vitamin E may attenuate the haemodynamic effects of chromium intoxication and the activation of lipid peroxidation.
We have explored the effects of melatonin on the interplay between parameters of the haemostatic system and the disruption in basic processes of urine formation under chronic sublimate intoxication. The prophylactic administration of melatonin was performed at a dose of 5 mg/kg along with the intragastric administration of mercury chloride at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg for two months. The use of melatonin helped reduce the Impairment in vascular-platelet and coagulation haemostasis and in the activity of the anticoagulant and fibrinolytic systems, and contributed to the reduction in thrombinaemia. Observed changes correlated with the restoration of urine formation and lipid peroxidation processes and of the activity of antioxidant blood enzymes. The results of the study suggest that melatonin can be recommended for further studies aimed at developing tools for correcting haemostasis associated with exposure to heavy metal compounds.
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.
