The progeny of intact rats parents were exposed to emotional stress (Maternal separation stressn) and received an excessive amount of the blend of phytoestrogens (Ph) with mother's milk (1st group) from 3 to 22 day life. At the age of 10 months males received NP GdVO4 (0.33 mg/kg; 2nd group) or speman (158 mg/kg; 3rd group) with feed over the 70 days. Sexual behavior and fertility of males were investigated; the integrated indicator of reproductive potential (FI) was calculate and was estimated with the data of animals from group Control who were given vehicle (water). In the 1st group sexual behavior of males was characterized by accelerating sexual responses on female (double shortening of mounting and intromission latency) and a reduced ability to achieve ejaculation and to start the second round of copulations. The less females have been inseminated by these males (67% vs. 91% in Control group), but almost all became pregnant. As a result of the neonatal induction deterioration in the quality of male gametes intrauterine pregnancy loss increased more than twice, and the total number of foetus decreased (on 21%). These changes have led to a reduction of the male integrated indicator of reproductive potential (Fi) in 2.6 times compared with control animals. Using a NP GdVO4 rehabilitated male sexual behaviour indicators to Control group level, resulting in an increase in the number of fertilized females (up to 95%). In pregnant females decreased fetal losses (up to 15.2% vs. 18.1% in control, p<0,05) and increase in the number of fetuses (on 25%, p<0,05) that shows an improvement in the quality of sperm.

According to the data, used deep diaphragmatic breathing in mode of biofeedback harmonizes breathing and blood circulation which positively affects the body's adaptive potential. However, developers present the portable instruments of biofeedback primarily as a means of psychological relaxation. The aim of this study is to determine whether such devices are able to significantly affect heart rate variability and how long this effect lasts. There were 30 males aged 18 to 20 years that participated in this study. They were randomly divided into three equal groups with up to 10 people in each of them. Members of the first group were doing breathing exercises using a portable biofeedback StressEraser device, the second group used Em-Wave2, and the third one used hardware and software system MyCalmBeat. Each session lasted from 10 to 15 minutes. There were 10 sessions held daily in the morning. HRV was recorded by remote heart rate monitor Polar RS800CX and software Polar ProTrainer5. 5-minutes' stationary segments of the curve chest electrocardiogram removal were used in order to calculate the HRV indexes. It was found that 15 minutes deep breathing in mode of biofeedback significantly affects the heart rate variability of healthy young people. In particular, it increases the overall heart rate variability according to the statistical and spectral analysis. It was established that in all 3 groups of experiment participants the spectral curve low-range \"Low frequency\" (LF) suffered the major shifts. These shifts reflect the activity level of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system (ANS) as well as vascular-motor center according to the conventional interpretation. It was found that all three groups suffered a specific weight decrease of Very Low Frequency (VLF)% respectively 11.8±2.2%;(p <0,01); 6.6 ± 2.8%; (p <0,02) and 6.8 ± 2.4% (p <0,05). This means that activity redistribution between different regulatory components of heart rate occurred in favour of the peripheral ANS parts. Heart rate variability changes of this kind remained valid for at least one month after the experiment. The greatest influence on heart rate variability was observed in the group of people who used the device StressEraser.</p>","PeriodicalId":73031,"journal":{"name":"Fiziolohichnyi zhurnal (Kiev, Ukraine : 1994)","volume":"62 4","pages":"66-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36286923","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}

It has been shown that structural base of myocardial pathology development results in parallel changes of microvessels and contractile myocardium with the main focus on development of contractile changes of cardiomyocytes and intramuscular capillaries spasm, which causes blood flow impairment and reducing supply of oxygen to the working cells. Structural changes in the myocardium develop due to energy shifts which have been elucidated by confirmed decrease SDG in cardiac activity (control 2,65±0,03 act.
