Hydrogen clearance, polarographic, and electric impedance measurements on conscious rabbits with electrodes implanted into brain cortex, thalamus, and hypothalamus were used to study the state of hemodynamics, oxygen and water--electrolyte balance on a model of the zero-gravity-induced cerebrovascular disorders. The preliminary administration of mildronate (10 mg/kg, p.o.) reduced the hemodynamics disorder and optimized the oxygen balance more significantly than did riboxin (5 mg/kg). Both drugs markedly decreased the level of edematous phenomena in the brain. The antihypoxant and antiedematous effects of mildronate and riboxin increased upon their combined administration.

Prenatal hypoxia (PH) is a key factor in the development of long-term cardiovascular disorders, which are caused by various mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction (ED), including those associated with NO deficiency. This emphasizes the potential of therapeutic agents with NO modulator properties, such as Thiotriazoline, Angiolin, Mildronate, and L-arginine, in the treatment of PH. Pregnant female rats were given a daily intraperitoneal dose of 50 mg/kg of sodium nitrite starting on the 16th day of pregnancy.

mRNA vaccines have been revolutionizing disease prevention and treatment. However, their further application is hindered by inflammatory side effects, primarily caused by delivery systems such as lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). In response to this issue, we prepared cationic lipids (mLPs) derived from mildronate, a small-molecule drug, and subsequently developed the LNP (mLNP-69) comprising a low dose of mLP.

As a vital pathway for cellular energy production, mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) is essential in regulating immune responses to bacterial pathogens and maintaining intracellular homeostasis in vertebrates. However, the specific role of FAO in antiviral innate immune response in macrophages remains insufficiently understood. In this study, virus infection simulated by poly(I:C) inhibited FAO, as indicated by the reduced expression of FAO-related genes and proteins in the head kidney of large yellow croaker, with similar results observed in poly(I:C)-stimulated macrophages.

Unlike humans and other mammals, zebrafish demonstrate a remarkable capacity to regenerate their injured hearts throughout life. Mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) contributes to major energy demands of the adult hearts under physiological conditions; however, its functions in regulating cardiac regeneration and the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. Different strategies targeting FAO have yield mixed outcomes.

Many children and adults who have suffered prenatal hypoxia at an early age develop many serious diseases. This disease is an actual problem of pediatric cardiology and little studied. The aim was to analyze the cardioprotective effect of L-arginine, Thiotriazoline, Angioline, and Mildronate on the cardiovascular system of rats after prenatal hypoxia.
