[Modifying effect of low-molecular metabolities on the state of extracellular matrix of connective tissue of animals].

On the basis of complex approach to bone and haematopoetic tissue interaction the authors studied the influence of low weight metabolites on stromal fibroblasts and components of extacellular matrix of bone and skin (collagen and glycosaminoglycans). Specificity of different metabolites action on physico-chemical abilities of type I collagen, amino acid composition changes, surface charge, ratio of alpha- and beta-compounds, BrCN-fragments of alpha-1 component cross-links was shown. The dose dependence of formiate effect on processes of proteins glycosilation, cross-linking in bone and cartilage connective tissue and serum glycoproteins was established.

[Neuroprotective effect of N-acylethanolamines in chronic morphine dependence. III. Influence on the content of neurotransmitters in the rat brain].

The effect of the mixture of saturated and unsaturated N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) on the functional activity of catecholamine- and serotoninergic systems of the rat brain with experimental morphine dependence was investigated. A significant decrease of dopamine levels was found in the hypothalamus, midbrain and cortex of rats with morphine dependence. The administration of NAEs to rats with morphine dependence in time course dose of 35 mg/kg markedly increased the levels of dopamine in the hypothalamus, middle brain and cortex.

[Influence of formate on free amino acids contents in tissues and organs of rats in vitro and in vivo].

In experiments in vitro and in vivo influence of formiate on free amino acids contents of tissues and organs of rats has been studied. Results of experiments showed a possibility of amino acids formilation in all investigated tissues. This process could be enzymatic.

[Biochemistry for the benefit of humanity (practical achievements of my scientific work)].

Science unites theory and practice, but theory is always in advance. Even our works (mentioned above) which are also important for practice and were awarded the State prizes could not be made without preliminary theoretical investigations. It should be said that our works with elaborated methods of therapy and drugs to treat chronic alcoholism, drug addiction, leucosis are rather of theoretical than of practical importance.
