[CHANGES OF THE OXIDATIVE STATUS, MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION, BLOOD PRESSURE AND INDICATORS OF HEMOSTASIS IN STRESSED
Abstract:
Changes in the metabolism of female rats hanging by cervical dorsal skin fold within 24 hours were examined. It was found that stress exposure results in an increase of the concentration of the final nitric oxide metabolites in the blood serum and homogenates of the heart and brain of animals, intensification of processes peroxidation lipids and mitochondrial dysfunction in these organs. Thus increase of mean arterial blood pressure by 18.9 % from baseline and violation of platelet and plasma components of hemostasis. Inhibitor of neuronal NO-synthase 7-nitroindazole in the dose of 50 mg/kg aggravates of the studied parameters changes. Administration of an animal selective inhibitor of inducible NOS aminoguanidine (50 mg / kg) contributes to limiting the damaging effects of stress reaction.

Blood Pressure
The average BP in an adult is typically around 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). In this measurement, the numerator (120) indicates the systolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries during the contraction of the heart's ventricles as blood is expelled. The denominator (80) represents the...
