It was shown that serotonin hydrochloride causes mitochondrial dysfunction and activates intracellular catabolic processes on the intracellular level. Bioglobin-U increases the activity and reparative synthetic reactions, reduced the degree of mitochondrial dysfunction and catabolic processes and activate the Leydig cell metabolism, and significantly reduces the number of foci destruction membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrial, and membranes of nucleus on the background of serotonin hydrochloride.
