Hemodynamic Parameters in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats with Obesity and Chemically Induced Colitis during Probiotic Therapy.

We studied the dynamics of the main hemodynamic parameters in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats with visceral obesity and chemically induced colitis (CIC) against the background of probiotic therapy. Systolic BP, HR, and body temperature were recorded over 36 days using a wireless telemetry system. During 8 days (3 days before CIC induction and until the end of the experiment) the animals were intragastrically administered a probiotic based on Lactobacillus delbrueckii D5 strain.

Influence of Interleukin-2 and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) on the Size of Myocardial Infarction in Rats with Systemic Inflammatory Response.

We studied the influence of recombinant IL-2 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on the size of the myocardial necrosis zone of rats with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). A significant increase in the necrosis zone and the levels of proinflammatory cytokines was revealed in animals with SIRS in comparison with the control. The administration of IL-2 to animals with SIRS significantly reduced the size of the necrosis zone, which was paralleled by a pronounced increase in IL-2 and BDNF in comparison with the corresponding parameters in rats with SIRS that did not receive IL-2.

The Effect of Probiotic Strains on Myocardial Infarction Size, Biochemical and Immunological Parameters in Rats with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome and Polymorbidity.

Numerous experimental and clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of various probiotic strains in metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal and liver diseases, immune system pathology. The effects of probiotics on cardiovascular dysfunction are less well known. The development and validation of a new experimental model in rats, including obesity, acute colon inflammation and antibiotic-induced dysbiosis, with common characteristics of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), became the basis for investigating the effects of probiotic drugs on myocardial resistance to ischemic-reperfusion injury (IRI) using an in vivo model of infarction after coronary occlusion.

Probiotic Therapy with and subsp. Results in Infarct Size Limitation in Rats with Obesity and Chemically Induced Colitis.

In this study, we investigated the effect of three different probiotics, namely, a combination of and subsp. , , and on myocardial infarct size in rats with diet-induced obesity (DIO) and chemically-induced colitis (CIC). Potential associations between the effects of probiotics on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and gut microbiome patterns as well as the serum levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, lipopolysaccharide, and short chain fatty acids were also studied.

Effect of Probiotic Therapy on Hemodynamic Response Associated with Systemic Inflammatory Reaction and Antibiotic-Induced Dysbiosis in Chronic Experiments in Rats.

The effect of probiotic therapy on the main hemodynamic parameters was studied in Wistar rats with modeled syndrome of systemic inflammatory response resulting from chemically induced colitis complicated by antibiotic-induced dysbiosis. Using a wireless telemetry monitoring system in round-the-clock mode, the mean systolic and diastolic BP, HR, and body temperature were measured over 27 days. In the group of animals receiving no probiotics, a significant decrease in feed consumption and body weight loss were observed.
