[Ubiquinone and vitamin E content in rat tissues in experimental focal myocarditis and hypoxic hypoxia]

The content of ubiquinone and vitamin E in liver, heart, kidney and muscle tissues has been found to vary in experimental focal myocarditis and acute hypoxic hypoxia. These compounds have been demonstrated to accumulate in myocardial mitochondria, which is likely to be related to both interstitial and inter-organ redistribution having a compensatory-adaptation importance. In the pathology under study, the myocardium demonstrates a greater intensity and more remarkable line of changes in the content of vitamin E and ubiquinone. It is suggested that these substances contribute to the increased body resistance to hypoxic exposures of varying genesis.
