Impact of modulators of nitric oxide synthesis on the level of cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage in experimental antiphospholipid syndrome.

Objective: Aim: The aim of the research is to study the cytokine prof i le (IL-1β, IL 6, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-10) in bronchoalveolar lavage of lungs in experimental APS and its correction with L-arginine and aminoguanidine.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Antiphospholipid syndrome was modeled on white female BALB/c mice. L-arginine (25 mg/kg) and aminoguanidine (10 mg/kg) were used for its correction.

[MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE LIVER OF MICE WITH ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME AND ADMINISTRATION OF NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHESIS MODULATORS].

The aim of the research is to study the effect of L-arginine, the precursor of nitric oxide, and aminoguanidine, the inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase, on morpho-functional changes in the liver of BALB/c mice with antiphospholipid syndrome. The study was carried out on 50 female BALB/c mice modelled with antiphospholipid syndrome. L-arginine (25 mg/kg) and aminoguanidine (10 mg/kg) were used for its correction.

[NEUROPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF AMINOGUANIDINE IN EXPERIMENTAL OBSTETRIC ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME].

The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of aminoguanidine on the content of autoantibodies in the serum, nitric oxide synthesis (NO), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) content and indicators of free radical oxidation in the cerebral hemispheres of BALB/c mice with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) on the 18th day of pregnancy. An increase in the content of autoantibodies to brain proteins (120 kDa, 150 kDa, and >170 kDa) was detected in the serum of BALB/c mice with APS on the 18th day of pregnancy. An increase in the content of GFAP (total), GFAP (49-37 kDa), NO2¯, NO3¯ and prooxidant-antioxidant system imbalance in the cerebral hemispheres of pregnant mice with APS was established.

[PRODUCTION OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES AND DEVELOPMENT OF APOPTOSIS IN BLOOD LEUKOCYTES IN EXPERIMENTAL ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME].

The aim of the study is to investigate the processes of apoptosis and the level of formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in blood cells of BALB/c female mice in experimental antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The content of living, apoptotic and necrotic cells in blood leukocytes was evaluated. Apoptosis in cells was detected using Annexin V conjugated to GFP and propidium iodide.

EFFECT OF TOBACCO SMOKE ON ROS PRODUCTION AND INFLAMMATION IN RATS OF DIFFERENT AGE.

The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of tobacco smoke on the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and level of cytokines in blood of rats of different age groups. For the purpose of carrying out the dosage, the beards of the white mongrel male rats were sub-divided into three groups: immature, mature and senile rats. Rat experimental groups were exposed to tobacco smoke daily for 45 days.
