Activities of enzymes involved in redox transformation of endogenous aldehydes have been investigated in subcellular fractions of liver, heart, and brain of pubertal rats exposed to prolonged immobilization stress. In the liver aldo-keto reductase (AKR) activity in the postmitochondrial fraction and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) acivity of the mitochondrial fraction demonstrated a more pronounced decrease in 2-month-old rats. Rat heart postmitochondrial AKR and ALDH demonstrated opposite changes in their enzymatic activities, while activity of mitochondrial ALDH remained unchanged. Brain cells create conditions that favor effective utilization of endogenous aldehydes in metabolic redox pathways.

Prolonged Immobilization

This work covers current questions on studying structural changes in the wall of the abdominal aorta during the modelled long-term immobilization stress against vagotonia. The purpose of this study was to reveal the effect of prolonged vagotonia on the structure of the wall of the abdominal aorta in rats in the experiment. The studies were performed on three comparable groups of hundred-day Wistar rats, which were exposed to immobilization stress and vagotonia for a period of 10 days. Immobilization was chosen as a method to induce stress model. The rats were placed into a special plastic box, in this way limiting their movements for four hours at room temperature.  Vagotonia was modelled by the administration of pyridostigmine bromide, reversible anticholinesterase. Histological preparations of the abdominal aorta were studied by x40, x100, x400 magnification using the Primo Star 5 microscope (Carl Zeiss, FRG) followed by photography of microscopic images. Computer morphometry was performed with x100 and x400 magnification and then the image were displayed on the computer monitor using the DVR and AxioVision image analysis software (Rel.4.8.2) in μm. We assessed the thickness of the subendothelial layer, and namely an internal elastic membrane and media. The ratio of the extent of the abdominal aorta lumen to the vascular wall was calculated in the Adobe Photoshop program by the A. A. Glagoliev method through overlaying of point grids on sections, the results were converted into percentages. The studies were carried out in five fields of five different sections in each rat. The results of the variation analysis of the morphological data obtained have revealed some features of restructuring the vascular wall of the abdominal aorta due to prolonged immobilization stress accompanied by vagotonia. It has been found out that prolonged exposure of  hundred-day Wistar rats to immobilization stress leads to a decrease in thickness and certain morphological changes in all layers of the abdominal aorta wall and a decrease in the percentage of the component of the vessel wall. When accompanied by prolonged immobilization and vagotonia, preservation of the endothelial layer of the abdominal aorta was observed against the background of a decrease in intimal thickness and degenerative cell changes, as well as media thickening and focal changes in adventitia.

The article highlights the experiments on white mice and purebred cats, which simulated insulin-dependent diabetes by intra-abdominal injection of water solution streptozotocin in the dose of 15 mg/kg, which destroys (3-cells of the pancreas within 14 days and leads to increased blood glucose animals by 70-80% compared with intact animals. In the experiment, the authors studied the derivative of L-glutamic acid deanol aceglumate at the preventive intragastric introduction, which showed the presence of cardioprotec-tive effect in the animals with ischemic, stress and metabolic damage to the heart. This was expressed in the reduction of deaths mice with diabetes subjected to 25% immobilization stress in the period of 28 days, and in improving the adaptation of animals to prolonged immobilization. The data obtained are confirmed by the absence of reducing the weight of the animals during the experiment, an obstacle to development of relative and absolute myocardial hypertrophy, lack of pronouced destructive processes in the contractile car-diomyocytes left stomach animals, increased life expectancy, animals when modeling adrenaline micronecrosis in mice with diabetes, improving gas and acid-base composition of venous blood outflow from ischemia heart cats with acute ischemia and diabetes.

Chronic Immobilization Stress

Abstract. Alterations of essential elements in the brain are associated with the pathophysiology of many neuropsychiatric disorders. It is known that chronic/overwhelming stress may cause some anxiety and/or depression. We aimed to investigate the effects of two different chronic immobilization stress protocols on anxiety-related behaviors and brain minerals. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups as follows ( n = 10/group): control, immobilization stress-1 (45 minutes daily for 7-day) and immobilization stress-2 (45 minutes twice a day for 7-day). Stress-related behaviors were evaluated by open field test and forced swimming test. In the immobilization stress-1 and immobilization stress-2 groups, percentage of time spent in the central area (6.38 ± 0.41% and 6.28 ± 1.03% respectively, p < 0.05) and rearing frequency (2.75 ± 0.41 and 3.85 ± 0.46, p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively) were lower, latency to center area (49.11 ± 5.87 s and 44.92 ± 8.04 s, p < 0.01 and p < 0.01, respectively), were higher than the control group (8.65 ± 0.49%, 5.37 ± 0.44 and 15.3 ± 3.32 s, respectively). In the immobilization stress-1 group, zinc (12.65 ± 0.1 ppm, p < 0.001), magnesium (170.4 ± 1.7 ppm, p < 0.005) and phosphate (2.76 ± 0.1 ppm, p < 0.05) levels were lower than the control group (13.87 ± 0.16 ppm, 179.31 ± 1.87 ppm and 3.11 ± 0.06 ppm, respectively). In the immobilization stress-2 group, magnesium (171.56 ± 1.87 ppm, p < 0.05), phosphate (2.44 ± 0.07 ppm, p < 0.001) levels were lower, and manganese (373.68 ± 5.76 ppb, p < 0.001) and copper (2.79 ± 0.15 ppm, p < 0.05) levels were higher than the control group (179.31 ± 1.87 ppm, 3.11 ± 0.06 ppm, 327.25 ± 8.35 ppb and 2.45 ± 0.05 ppm, respectively). Our results indicated that 7-day chronic immobilization stress increased anxiety-related behaviors in both stress groups. Zinc, magnesium, phosphate, copper and manganese levels were affected in the brain.
