[Effect of intravenous laser irradiation on some blood biochemical indicators in the acute stage of lacunar infarcts].

Objective: To investigate the dynamics of lipid metabolism, C-reactive protein (CRP), lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system in lacunar infarction (LI) in chronic cerebral ischemia.

Material And Methods: Two groups of patients were studied. The main group included 31 patients who received intravenous laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) with semiconductor laser (wavelength - 0.

[Dynamics of granulocyte proteins after lymphocytapheresis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis].

The authors studied concentrations of granulocytic proteins, lactoferrin, leukocytic thermostable alpha-glycoprotein in the blood plasma of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. High concentrations of the above proteins were observed in RA patients.

[Insulin-degrading neutral protease from plasma membranes of rat liver cells and erythrocytes].

Insulin-degrading neutral proteinase with molecular weight of 70 kDa was partly purified from the rat liver and erythrocyte plasma membranes. Incubation of membranes with [gamma-32P]ATP resulted in the enzyme phosphorylation. Intensity of this process greatly increased in the presence of insulin (100 microU/ml), and correlated with the elevation of the insulin-degrading activity in proteinase.

[Phosphorylation of lactate dehydrogenase by purified plasma membranes of loach liver cells: stimulation with insulin].

It is established that insulin enhances the ability of the loach liver plasma membranes to phosphorylate lactate dehydrogenase. In the case of insulin-treated plasma membranes the amount of incorporated 32P is more than 4 times higher than that of the basal level. It is concluded that insulin-stimulated plasma membrane-dependent phosphorylation of the enzyme is one of the possible molecular mechanisms of hormone action on intracellular metabolism.
