Lactate thresholds and role of nitric oxide in male rats performing a test with forced swimming to exhaustion.

The present study assessed a complex of biochemical parameters at the anaerobic threshold (AT) in untrained male Wistar rats with different times to exhaustion (T ) from swimming. The first group of rats was randomly divided into six subgroups and subjected to a swimming test to exhaustion without a load or with a load of 2%-10% of body weight (BW). In the first group, we established that for untrained rats, the load of 4% BW in the swimming to exhaustion test was optimal for endurance assessment in comparison with other loads.

[The low content of apolipoprotein E as a risk factor of increasing of ratio apolipoprotein B/A-1 in healthy males with normal lipemia].

The relationship of ratio of apolipoprotein (apo) B/apoA-1 with other indicators of lipid metabolism in healthy people with normal lipemia was analyzed. The dependence of ratio of apolipoprotein (apo) B/apoA-1 from content of apoE (X2=8.20; p=0.

[Blood lactate dehydrogenase activity in newborn children].

Arterial and venous blood samples from babies' umbilical cord vessels before lung breath beginning were used to measure arterial-venous difference between lactate dehydrogenase activity, pH and oxygen blood saturation (sO2). Enzyme activity was 735.4 +/- 90.
