[The effect of acute alcohol intoxication on some parameters of nitrogenous metabolism in rats with alloxan diabetes].

Acute alcohol intoxication in rats with alloxan diabetes is accompanied by the increase of urea and uric acid and by the decrease in free fatty acids in serum. In the liver of experimental animals the increase of activity of glutamate dehydrogenase, AMP deaminase, and tyrosine transaminase was found.

Parameters of nitrogen metabolism during insulin hypoglycemia in rats with alloxan-induced diabetes.

Hypoglycemic coma caused by insulin injection to rats with alloxan-induced diabetes was accompanied by an increase in the concentrations of urea and uric acid and decrease in the content of free amino acids in blood plasma. Activities of glutamate dehydrogenase, AMP deaminase, glutaminase, ALT, and AST in the liver of experimental animals increased.

[Changes of some energy exchange parameters in the rat heart under insulin hypoglycemia].

Hypoglycemic coma induced by administration of a large dose of insulin, was accompanied by the increased rates of glycolysis, glycogenolysis, activity of lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and increased concentration of glycogen. Under these conditions triacylglycerol content decreased administration of the large dose of insulin to rats with alloxan diabetes increased not only rates of glycolysis, glycogenolysis and lactate dehydrogenase activity and also activities of aspartate transaminase and glutamate dehydrogenase. Data obtained suggest the increased utilization of amino acids for energy supply of myocardium under conditions of hypoglycemia induced by insulin adminisration to diabetic animals.

[Beginning and duration of expression of photoperiodic response genes in winter common wheat].

The influence of various Ppd genes on the beginning and duration of photoperiodic responce has been investigated in near isogenic lines of winter bread wheat Mironovskaya 808. During ontogenesis the photoperiodic responce is ascertained from the middle 2nd stage of ontogenesis according to Kuperman (usually a week later after vernalization completion in winter genotypes) and it is completed to the late 5th stage (2-3 weeks before heading). Different Ppd alleles do not affect the photoreaction intensity however they have an influence on its duration through the rate of development.

Glycolysis and oxidtion enzyme activity in rat brain during insulin-induced hypoglycemia against the background of alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus.

Insulin-induced hypoglycemic coma in animals with alloxan diabetes was observed at a higher basal glucose level in the blood compared to healthy animals. It was associated with inhibition of glycolysis and glycogenolysis and decreased activities of succinate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase in the cerebral hemispheres and brainstem.
