[Isoflavones and calcified tissues].

The data about osteotropic action of isoflavones are presented in this review. Isoflavones are the compounds of phytoestrogenes group--hormone-like bioregulators of plant origin. Animal experiments as well as bone tissue and bone cells cultures investigations demonstrate anabolic effect of isoflavones on bone metabolism.

[The effect of Biotrit balsam and Biotrit C on the level of health].

The study was made in forty subjects, their health level being assessed as recommended by G. L. Apanasenko as well as by modification of his method.

[Effect of salivary gland stimulation by sialadenotrophic influences on the development of stress ulcers of the stomach in rats].

It was demonstrated in experiments on female Wistar rats that transient hypertrophy of the salivary glands (the sialadenotrophic effect) induced by trypsin ingestion or repeated amputation of the lower incisors inhibits the development of stress erosive-ulcerating lesions of the gastric mucosa (GM). Stimulation of the salivary glands by sialadenotrophic effects caused an increase of the depth of the gastric pits and the height of the surface-foveolar epithelium responsible for mucus production, as well as a reduction in the number of parietal cells per unit of area of GM section.
