Activity of lactate dehydrogenase in direct and reverse reactions, activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase, blood lactate and glucose levels, pro- and antioxidant balance in the blood were analyzed in rats after inhalations of singlet oxygen for 10 days. The course of inhalations improves antioxidant reserve of the blood and activity of blood oxidoreductases in healthy animals, thus strengthening the adaptive potential of the body.
The effects of inhalation of singlet oxygen mixture, dry and humidified ozone-oxygen mixture, and ozonated oils on heart rate variability as well as on the rate and control mechanisms of microcirculation were examined in rats. The most optimal were the responses of systemic and regional hemodynamics to inhalation of the gas produced by a generator of singlet oxygen and humidified ozone-oxygen mixtures. Singlet oxygen stabilized the cardiac rhythm and augmented microcirculation via activation of "internal" (endothelial and neurogenic) regulatory mechanisms.
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.
