[The fatty acids of membranes of erythrocytes in women with ischemic heart disease under effect of statins].

The technique of evaluation of metabolism of fatty acids in vivo consists in detection of content of fatty acids in phospholipids of membranes of erythrocytes. The fatty acids are received with food, through synthesis on liver from carbohydrates and by katabolism of very long-chain polyolefinic fatty acids of food in peroxisomes of hepatocytes (oxidation, saturation and desaturation). In position sn-1 phospholipids more often than palmitic fatty acid (14%) stearic fatty acid is esterified (21% of all fatty acids).

[Synergism in the stimulating effect of transforming growth factor beta and insulin on the substrate-independent proliferation of the CHO-719 cell line].

Cells of line CHO-719 from the Chinese hamster ovary have no epidermal growth factor receptors. It was detected that these cells were significantly stimulated to proliferate in a semisolid culture medium containing 0.33% agar by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) in combination with insulin.

[The detection and characteristics of substances with fibroblast growth factor properties in the cells of loach embryos].

The substances extracted and partially purified from embryos of the loach (Misgurnus fossilis L.) at the late blastula stage are shown to possess properties characteristic of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF): 1) they bind with Heparin-Sepharose; 2) induce DNA synthesis in mouse NIH-3T3 and Swiss-3T3 fibroblast cell lines and in the primary culture of human embryonic fibroblasts; 3) have an apparent molecular weight of 15-16 kDa (according to SDS-electrophoresis); and 4) show positive reaction with antibodies against bovine basic FGF.
