Brain electrograms (BE) were recorded and investigated using an original software and hardware module. Linear diagrams were constructed using a QMS17 device in a frequency range of 60–250 Hz or greater. A mathematical analysis, normalization, and rationing of the series of γ-rhythms under the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), acetylcholine (ACC), and insulin relative to similar background series were performed by double discrete-time Fourier transform and double angle arctangent function, which allowed us to extract relevant information from extremely small (1–2 μV) values of γ-oscillations. The accumulation of the substances under study was achieved by introducing the Aminalon (GABA), Galantamine (ACC), and liposomal Insulin pharmaceuticals. The plasma concentrations of the studied drugs were verified by HPLC and mathematical modeling. The normalized BE (NBE) reflected the intracentral mechanisms of action of the tested drugs, which were characterized by a stable picture in the resting state of the animals and under the action of Aminalon, Galantamine, and Insulin at the peak of their plasma concentrations (according to pharmacokinetic parameters). The γ-activity of the brain is maintained at the systemic level. Blockade of γ-oscillations in the frontal pole leads to their activation in the associated brain structures: the hypo-thalamus, reticular formation, caudate nucleus, etc. Under the influence of Aminalon, the total depressive effects were observed over the entire analyzed range in the posterior nucleus of the hypothalamus and proreal gyrus, as well as activating effects in the frequency range 60–75 Hz in the anterior suprasylvian gyrus. Under the action of Galantamine, partial depressive effects in the hippocampus and hypothalamus were observed at   frequencies of about 60–65, 95–105, and 150 Hz.

The biomodel lines were created at the Scientific Center of Biomedical Technologies of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia. The maximum immune response was achieved on the 30th day from the onset of immunization in animals of the HLA-A*02:01 line and wild-type mice. Antibody titers in these groups increased sharply and approached 1:8,000,000 and 1:4,000,000, respectively. This indicates that genome modification in HLA-A*02:01 transgenic humanized mice did not affect functioning of the immune system. No similar dynamics of the increase in antibody titers was observed in the mice line with mouse β2-microglobulin gene knockout. On the 7th and 30th day, the antibody titer in this group increased to a value of 1:400 and 1:6,400, respectively.

The lines were created by microinjection of a linear fragment of a genetically engineered structure (GES) into the male pronucleus of zygotes, followed by the transfer of potentially modified embryos into the reproductive tract to pseudo-pregnant female recipients. The created GES encodes a chimeric molecule of the MHC of class I on the cell surface, consisting of the α1-, α2-domains of human HLA, and the α3-domain of the mouse H-2K complex, stabilized by human β2-microglobulin connected by a glycine serine linker with the α1-domain of HLA [1–5].

The experiment was carried out using two groups of Wistar rats: control (n=8) and experimental (n=11). In both groups, streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus was simulated for eight weeks. Experimental animals were intragastrically injected with carnosine (15 mg/kg) from weeks 4 to 8. The concentration of glucose, protein and creatinine excretion in urine were determined. At the end of eight weeks, the kidneys were removed from the rats to determine the indicators of oxidative stress severity (concentration of thiobarbiturate-reactive products, total antioxidant activity, activity of catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase) and to conduct morphometry of the size of the renal glomeruli, the area of the vascular bed, capillaries and mesangium in the glomeruli, the number of podocytes. A comparison with the control showed the use of carnosine led to a 1.5-fold decrease in the concentration of thiobarbiturate-reactive products (p<0.001), a 2.2-fold increase in the total antioxidant activity (p<0.001), and a 1.2-fold increase in catalase activity (p=0.039). The area of the renal glomeruli and the mesangium in this group decreased by 1.6 times (p<0.001 and p=0.04, respectively). The total area of blood flow increased by 2.4 times (p<0.001), the area of one capillary, and the number of podocytes in the glomerulus increased by 1.9 times (p<0.001 and p=0.001). A 3.5-fold decrease in protein concentration in urine was also noted (p=0.007). Therefore, inhibition of the formation of advanced glycation end products by carnosine in experimental diabetes mellitus attenuates oxidative damage to the kidneys. This is evidenced by a decrease in proteinuria, an increase in the number of podocytes, a decrease in the area of the renal glomeruli, and an improvement in the condition of the glomerular vascular system.","PeriodicalId":14837,"journal":{"name":"Journal Biomed","volume":"31 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140728079","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 state of hyperthyroidism in animals was simulated by intragastric administration of sodium pentahydrate of L-thyroxine at a dose of 150 µg/kg for 21 days. The following experimental groups (n=10) were formed: 1) control group — intact animals (control); 2) animals treated with L-thyroxine sodium salt pentahydrate (hyperthyroidism); 3) animals treated with Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (celank); 4) animals treated with Pro-GlyPro (doses of 87 and 33 µg/kg/day, respectively) intraperitoneally daily during 21 days starting one day after the last administration of sodium pentahydrate of L-thyroxine. The level of lipid peroxidation processes was assessed by the initial level of TBA-reactive products, spontaneous and ascorbate-dependent lipid peroxidation rates in hypothalamic tissue homogenate. Protein peroxidation products were determined by the reaction between oxidized amino acid residues of proteins and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone. The enzymatic part of the antioxidant system of hypothalamic region was estimated by measuring the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase. In the setting of Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro and Pro-Gly-Pro administration under experimental hyperthyroidism, the intensity of lipid and protein peroxidation processes was decreased, while the activity of antioxidant enzymes-superoxide dismutase and catalase was restored in the hypothalamic tissue. The experimental data obtained indicate that, under the conditions of experimental hyperthyroidism, Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro and Pro-Gly-Pro compounds exhibit an antioxidant and antiradical activity with respect to parameters of lipoperoxidation and oxidative modification of proteins, as well as with respect to enzymatic defense systems in the hypothalamic brain region of laboratory animals.","PeriodicalId":14837,"journal":{"name":"Journal Biomed","volume":"12 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140728605","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}
