[CHANGES IN THE METABOLISM IN THE MYOCARDIUM OF RATS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION]

In the myocardium of the rats with arterial hypertension marked increase in the amount of unsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Reducing the concentration of palmitic acid and increased levels of arachidonic acid is considered as one of the factors that lead to the development of energy deficit and oxidative stress. In rats, with hypertension myocardial lactate concentration increases in the cytoplasmic fraction and reducing the amount of ATP. The level in the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial fractions above benchmarks, indicating about the change of antioxidant systems of the body In the cytoplasm and mitochondria of cardiomyocytes of the rats with arterial hypertension marked decrease in the activity of antioxidant enzymes: NO-synthase, catalase, glutathione reductase, which causes metabolic changes of the myocardium.
