Disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in experimental brain injury.

In experimental heavy closed brain injury (mortality infive days - 86%) it is shown that from the first hours the violations of carbohydrate metabolism in the form of triad were formed: the marked hyperglycemia (3.3-3.6 times), hyperinsulinemia (2.

Systemic effects of unspecific inflammatory reaction at traumatic brain injury.

To determine the role of systemic effects of inflammation at traumatic brain disease caused by severe traumatic brain injury. The study is performed on 65 white outbred male rats. TBI is applied with one blow on animal’s cranial vaults with blow energy of 0.

[Geographical structure of the sable (Martes zibellina L.) gene pool on the basis of microsatellite loci analysis].

The genetic structure of seven natural sable populations was investigated with the use of the original panel of 10 microsatellite loci. The populations were selected on the basis of the historical data on sable numbers fluctuations for the last 300 years, as well as on data on natural and artificial migrations affecting neighboring populations. We have demonstrated that the populations are in a state of genetic equilibrium for the majority of the loci.

[Genetic structure of sable (Martes zibellina L.) from Eurasia based on distribution of mitochondrial lineages].

The phylogeography of the sable, which is a commercially valuable species, is extremely complicated and poorly investigated. Specifically, the effects of factors such as the range dynamics of the sable during the Pleistocene Epoch, the localization of glacial refugia, species distribution pattern in Holocene, and recent dramatic population decline, along with massive reacclimatization measures, on the species phylogeography remain unclear. Based on the sequence analysis of the control region of mitochondrial DNA from sables that inhabit different parts of the species range, a suggestion was made of the considerably high Pleistocene genetic diversity in sable, which was subsequently lost.

[Genetic analysis of sympatric sable (Martes zibellina) and Marten (M. martes) populations in the northern urals].

Analysis of nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region (495 bp) of sables (Martes zibellina) and martens (M. martes) from allopatric parts of the species ranges has shown a considerable interspecific genetic distance (3%). In sympatric populations of these species in the northern Urals, differences between two species-specific mtDNA lineages are still large; however, classification of each individual nucleotide sequence with one of the two lineages is not correlated with whether the given animal is phenotypically a sable, a marten, or a potential hybrid (the so-called kidas).
