[Exchange of biometals in myocardial infarction: a clinical and experimental study].

The paper presents the results of studying trace elements (Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mg) in 60 patients with myocardial infarction and Wistar normotensive and NISAG hypertensive rats. Clinical and experimental correspondences of the impaired blood trace element composition have been found in patients and experimental animals and the mechanisms of these disorders.

[Insulin-glucose parameters in healthy women and patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease in dependence on age and follicle-stimulating hormone levels].

Insulin-glucose parameters in healthy women do not significantly change with changes of functional state of ovaries. Women with hypertension and normal levels of glycemia have significantly higher values of basal insulinemia and HOMA-R index reflecting presence of moderate insulin resistance degree of which is more pronounced in middle aged patients. In women with documented ischemic heart disease values of basal insulinemia, HOMA-R index, and glycemia are comparable with those in patients with hypertension and follicle-stimulating hormone level above 30 IE/l and significantly differ from corresponding parameters in healthy women in peri- and postmenopause.
