Thus, we assumed that they may have developed adaptations in mechanisms of working memory realization that help them to be more efficient in information overload conditions. Our aim was to define differences in visual working memory functioning in radar station operators (RSO) and other military profession representatives. For this purpose, in parallel with the performance of original computer tests for the visual working memory identification, which had two levels of complexity, we recorded an electroencephalogram with subsequent coherent and LORETA analysis and electrocardiogram with subsequent determining of stress index of the regulatory systems. It was found that reaction time, as well as the number of errors in both tests, didn`t differ significantly for the two groups. At the same time, the control group had a significantly higher number of θ-band coherent connections in the frontal lobe in both tests, which could indicate a higher level of mental stress and emotional involvement. This assumption was confirmed by the stress index dynamic in the control group. LORETA analysis showed that in the RSO group, the degree of fronto-parietal, cingulo-opercular networks, cuneus and precuneus involvement was at a high level from the very first tasks, while in the control group, it increased with task complexity, that is the evidence of adaptive changes in the working memory of RSO, due to which they successfully cope with information overload.","PeriodicalId":12307,"journal":{"name":"Fiziolohichnyĭ zhurnal","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139281343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, the cardiotoxic effects of this drug often require discontinuation of treatment before the effect is achieved. Mitochondria are important mediators of cellular life, and cardiomyocyte death due to mitochondrial mechanisms of internal killing is the basis of many heart diseases. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of short-term doxorubicin administration on Ca2+-induced opening of the nonspecific mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) in the heart of adult rats. To reproduce and evaluate acute cardiotoxicity in rats, which is the main complication in patients taking doxorubicin, a short-term doxorubicin cardiomyopathy model was used. A comparative ultrastructural study of myocardial tissues was performed at total cumulative doses of doxorubicin of 8, 13 and 15 mg/kg administered intraperitoneally and spread over two days. It was shown that the drug caused damage and death of the myofibrillar apparatus, mitochondria and cardiomyocytes and exhibited a dose-dependent effect. Therefore, further experiments were carried out at the most indicative dose, namely 15 mg/kg. We have shown that the content of reactive oxygen species in the heart mitochondria, namely, •O2-, Н2О2, •ОН, increased after doxorubicin administration by 10.5, 5.3 and 3.4 times, respectively, indicating a significant increase in free radical processes. It is important that at the same time, the content of endogenous H2S decreased by 2.6 times. This activated mPTP opening in the rat heart: the amplitude of spontaneous swelling doubled, Ca2+-induced swelling increased by 53% compared to the control, and an increase in mPTP sensitivity to Ca2+ was observed at all applied concentrations. Thus, the acute cardiotoxic effect of doxorubicin resulted in the induction of mPTP opening, which led to mitochondrial and cardiomyocyte death.","PeriodicalId":12307,"journal":{"name":"Fiziolohichnyĭ zhurnal","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139280863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pathogenesis of PD is believed to involve oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and lipid metabolism disorders. A benzodiazepine derivative JM-20 has demonstrated protective effects on mitochondria in both neurons and peripheral tissues of rats with rotenoneinduced Parkinson’s syndrome (PS). This study aimed to analyze bile composition and assess the impact of a new benzodiazepine derivative, methanindiazenone, on lipid metabolism in the liver of rats subjected to the rotenone model of PS. The results indicated that, compared to the control group, bile concentration of phospholipids, cholesterol, cholesterol esters, and triglycerides decreased by 24.3, 26.2, 25.8, and 27.5%, respectively. With methanindiazenone treatment at doses of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg, all these metrics reverted to the control level. However, in the rotenone+methanindiazenone 2.0 mg/kg group, the levels of phospholipids, cholesterol, and cholesterol esters (except for triglycerides) surpassed the control values by 33, 28.1, 28.4 and 33.5%, respectively. Methanindiazenone positively impacted the motor behavior of rats with the rotenone model of PS and enhanced their survival rates. Therefore, at doses of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg, methanindiazenone not only improved lipid metabolism in the liver but also the overall well-being of rats with the rotenone model of PS. However, a 2 mg/kg dose of methanindiazenone displayed toxic effects, as seen from the increased content of phospholipids, cholesterol, and cholesterol esters in bile. Hence, methanindiazenone holds potential as a therapeutic agent for PS and possibly other neurodegenerative diseases related to lipid metabolism impairment, but its use should be limited to doses of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg.","PeriodicalId":12307,"journal":{"name":"Fiziolohichnyĭ zhurnal","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139281078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite intensive research, the function of mitochondria and the mechanisms of its regulation under physiological conditions and in insulin resistance require detailed investigation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of blockade L-type calcium channels in insulin-resistant rats on hepatic mitochondrial oxidative function and changes in its oxidative status. Insulin resistance was modeled in 6-month-old male Wistar rats by 14 days of high-fat feeding. Standard fed animals served as controls. Verapamil was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 1 mg/kg to block L-type calcium channels. Indicators of pro- and antioxidant systems (active products of tiobarbituric acid, reduced glutathione, catalase, Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase) were assayed in the liver homogenate extracted from anesthetized animals after 3 h. Mitochondrial function was studied by the Chance polarographic method using different metabolic substrates. It was shown that in intact animals blockade of L-type calcium channels reduced the efficiency of mitochondrial respiration (V3/V4) in liver mitochondria during oxidation of all substrates through an inhibitory effect on the phosphorylation respiration (V3) and a stimulatory effect on the controlled respiration (V4), without affecting the oxidative status of the liver. In rats with insulin resistance the rate of V3 during oxidation of both NAD- and FADdependent substrates was decreased, violations of oxidative status and increased antioxidant protection were detected. However, in insulin-resistant rats blockade of L-type calcium channels significantly enhanced basic respiration (V2) during NAD-dependent substrate oxidation, V3 and V4 during palmitoyl lipid substrate oxidation, reduced the V3/V4 ratio compared to control, and partially or fully restored the violation of the oxidative status. This may indicate the involvement of calcium mechanisms in the disturbance of the oxidative status of the liver and the regulation of energy metabolism in mitochondria during insulin resistance.","PeriodicalId":12307,"journal":{"name":"Fiziolohichnyĭ zhurnal","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139281650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of our work was to determine the factors that may influence the duration of healing (growth factors and hypoxia-induced factor 1α) in the wound bed of rats with metabolic syndrome. The experiments were conducted on 80 white non-linear laboratory rats, aged 4-5 months, which were divided after birth into 2 groups of 40 animals each (20 males and 20 females). Group I rats were subcutaneously injected with saline at a dose of 8 μg/ ml on days 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 after birth. Group II rats were administered a sodium glutamate solution at a dose of 4.0 mg/ kg at the same time. At the age of 4 months, animals of both subgroups were modeled with incised wounds . The control animals were rats in each of the groups in which wounds were not modeled. The material for biochemical studies was the skin in the areas of the former wound bed. Rats in the control group had their skin excised at the same sites as those in the experimental groups. The skin was homogenized and the content of growth factors of endothelial and nerve cells (VEGF, NGF, respectively) and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) was determined by immuno-enzymatic method. In unoperated male rats with metabolic syndrome, the skin content of VEGF, NGF, and HIF-1a increased compared to control animals without the syndrome. In unoperated females with metabolic syndrome, VEGF levels decreased with a simultaneous increase in NGF and HIF-1α. In the wound bed of animals with metabolic syndrome, after the closure of the wound surface, the content of VEGF and HIF-1α increased, and the content of NGF remained unchanged compared with the values in unoperated rats. The results obtained indicate the involvement of growth factors VEGF and NGF and HIF-1α in prolonging the duration of healing of incised wounds in rats with metabolic syndrome. At the same time, these growth factors and HIF-1α may be involved in the mechanisms of development of some postoperative complications.","PeriodicalId":12307,"journal":{"name":"Fiziolohichnyĭ zhurnal","volume":"63 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139280861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking into account the establishment of GABA-ergic deficiency, the use of modulators of the GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complex, for example, Carbacetam, which has shown satisfactory neuroprotective properties, seems promising. Diabetes mellitus was modeled by a single administration of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg; “Sigma-Aldrich”, China) to threemonth-old male Wistar rats. Already after 7 days, according to immunohistochemical detection of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), reactive gliosis of astrocytes of the inner retina layers was detected, to which Müller cells joined from the 14th day. The content of GFAP in retinal tissues increased significantly. GFAP-positive cells were in close contact with foci of pathological angiogenesis in the inner layers of the retina and also took part in the formation of fibrous proliferates in the outer layers. Detection of caspase-3 showed the activation of apoptosis in astrocytes and radial processes of Müller cells in the inner plexiform layer. Carbacetam in combination with insulin reduced the expression of GFAP and caspase-3 in the retina and prevented the development of reactive gliosis, angiogenesis, and the formation of fibrous proliferates, which makes it a candidate for further studies in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.","PeriodicalId":12307,"journal":{"name":"Fiziolohichnyĭ zhurnal","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139280868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exogenous administration of progesterone is one of the ways to influence the brain system of hormonal and neurotransmitter regulation. The effect of intranasal administration of low doses of progesterone on endogenous neurosteroid modulation of working and spatial memory in male rats with alcohol dependence and aggressive behavior was investigated. Alcohol dependence in male rats was modeled by voluntary intake of bread soaked in ethanol solution at a dose of 1.2 g/kg for 30 days. Aggressiveness was determined using the sensory contact method and the “partition” test. To study memory processes in rats, neuroethological methods of testing working (recognition of new objects) and spatial (orientation in the Barnes maze) memory were used. Progesterone was administered intranasally at a dose of 80 μg per rat for 10 days. Progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol levels were measured in the frontal neocortex (FC), hippocampus, and serum using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The stimulatory effect of alcoholization on spatial memory and impairment of working memory in male rats with aggressive behavior was found. Zoosocial conflict on the background of prolonged alcohol consumption leads to impaired object recognition and spatial orientation against the background of neurosteroid imbalance: a decrease in progesterone and testosterone content in the FC, hippocampus, serum, and an increase in cortisol levels in these structures. Intranasal administration of progesterone to rats with alcohol dependence and aggressive behavior offsets the negative effects of confrontational relationships on working memory processes, restores the acquired experience to the baseline (however, the processes of object differentiation remain weakened); leads to improved spatial memory. The favorable effects of progesterone on memory are accompanied by a decrease in the imbalance of hormonal influences in brain structures with the restoration of progesterone and testosterone concentrations in the FC, hippocampus and serum against the background of weakening of stress-induced glucocorticoid activity. Therefore, intranasal administration of low doses of progesterone improves working and spatial memory in male rats with alcohol dependence and aggressive behavior due to the tendency to restore the balance of hormones (progesterone, testosterone, cortisol) in the brain structures responsible for memory.","PeriodicalId":12307,"journal":{"name":"Fiziolohichnyĭ zhurnal","volume":"37 6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139281366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analytical search was conducted in the PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from January 1, 2018, to June 01, 2023. The vitamin D metabolite 1α,25(OH)2D3 plays an important role in the regulation of mineral homeostasis and bone metabolism. It has catabolic and anabolic actions on osteoblasts, osteocytes and mature osteoclasts. In this review, we describe the direct and indirect effects of 1α,25(OH)2D3 on the function of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Among the targets of vitamin D action in bone cells are vitamin D receptor (VDR) and cytochrome P450 Family 27 Subfamily B Member 1 (CYP27B1). In osteoblasts and MSCs with CYP27B1 knockout, cell proliferation and differentiation are impaired, and in osteoclasts, the resorption activity and lifespan of these cells are increased. The role of VDR in bone cells was demonstrated in normal and VDR-knockout animal models. The relationship between 1α,25(OH)2D3 – VDR signal transduction by bone cells and calcium balance was analyzed. In osteocytes, as well as in osteoblasts, 1α,25(OH)2D3 regulates the expression of RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand)), and additionally in osteocytes regulates the expression of FGF-23. The interaction of many other factors in bone cells has been shown to control the biological activity of 1α,25(OH)2D3. Thus, the effect of vitamin D on bone cells is in the phase of active research and requires an in-depth study of the features of its autocrine and paracrine effects. Identification of the molecular links of the mechanism of action of 1α,25(OH)2D3 on bone metabolism will provide a fundamental basis for approaches to the treatment of vitamin D deficiency diseases.","PeriodicalId":12307,"journal":{"name":"Fiziolohichnyĭ zhurnal","volume":"18 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139280383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
