    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Pathology
    • Experimental Pathology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Endotoxin shock, induced by bacterial components, poses a significant threat to cardiovascular function.
    • Understanding the myocardial response to endotoxins is crucial for developing effective treatments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the histological, histochemical, and histoenzymatic changes in the rabbit myocardium following endotoxin shock.
    • To elucidate the morphofunctional characteristics of cardiomyocytes and their alterations during endotoxin-induced heart insufficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Induction of endotoxin shock in rabbits using typhoid fever bacillus antigen.
    • Histological, histochemical, and histoenzymatic analyses of myocardial tissue at various time points.
    • Polarization microscopy to assess cardiomyocyte structure and function.

    Main Results:

    • Revealed the morphological substrate of heart insufficiency in rabbits subjected to endotoxin shock.
    • Demonstrated morphofunctional heterogeneity of cardiomyocytes in both inner and external myocardial layers.
    • Identified complex hypoxia as the primary cause of observed myocardial alterations.

    Conclusions:

    • Endotoxin shock leads to significant myocardial damage and functional heterogeneity of cardiomyocytes.
    • Hypoxia is the principal factor contributing to heart insufficiency in this experimental model.
    • The findings provide insights into the pathogenesis of endotoxin-induced cardiovascular dysfunction.
