Cardio- and cytoprotective effect of cytoflavin in terms of experimental perinatal hemic hypoxia

Abstract

The purpose of research is to study cardiocytoprotective effect of cytoflavin in terms of aperinatal hypoxia in experiment. Methods. During research the offspring (22 pups) of 15 females of white Wistar line rats aged 3-4 months were involved. The hypoxia was recreated by daily intraperitoneal introduction of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) in a dose of 5 mg/100 g of the body weight causing a moderately severe hypoxia. To females of the first group, and also their posterity medicamental correction wasn’t carried out. To females of the second group (8 females) after administration of sodium nitrite Cytoflavin was injected intraperitoneally. For an assessment of consequences of a perinatal hypoxia pups aged 7 days were slaughtered by means of a fast decapitation under ethereal anesthesia. Results. It is taped that the hypoxia induced by nitrobonds has the expressed damaging effect on cardiomyocytes of newborn infant rats which is shown in the form of the hypoxemic and ischemic changes caused, first of all, by disturbance of integrity of cellular and mitochondrial membranes causes formation of hypoxemic type of a metabolism in a cardiac muscle, disturbance of energy balance in it found reflection in disturbance of automatism of a myocardium of experimental animals. Cytoflavin at pregnant females in experiment allows to lower a damage rate of cardiomyocytes at newborn animals, first of all, at the expense of his protective properties. Conclusion. Membrane-protective properties of the drug along with its anti-hypoxic and antioxidant effects can put Cytoflavin in a number of promising drugs with cardiological and cytological protective action, leading to the optimization of energy metabolism in ischemic myocardium and allows it to take its rightful place among the modern drugs which are used to correct disorders of energy metabolism in the ischemic myocardium including pathologies in the neonatal period.
