Effect of dexamethasone on the expression of binding sites for high-density lipoproteins in cultured rat hepatocytes (Independence of the hormone effect on the intracellular cholesterol pool)

It is shown that glucocorticoids play a key regulatory role directed toward the maintenance of an optimal level of binding and internalization of HDL₃ in hepatocytes. Their stimulatory effect on the expression of HDL receptors proves to be independent of changes in the CH content in parenchymal cells.

Effect of some lectins on the cholinergic structures of the frog heart

The effect of lectins (phytohemagglutinin — PHA, concanavalin A — ConA,Pisum sativum lectin — PSL,Ricinus communis lectin — RCL, and pokeweed mitogen — PWM) on the cardiac cholinoceptors is studied in experiments on isolated hearts of maleRana temporaria frogs. The test lectins in concentrations from 10⁻²³ to 10⁻³ are shown to exhibit cholinomimetic properties.

Comparative pharmacological analysis of the M-cholinoreceptors inDaphnia and rats

The efficacy of M-cholinolytics in the prevention of the toxic effect of some cholinomimetics is comparatively assessed in experiments onDaphnia magna and albino rats. It is proposed that the M-cholinoreceptor population is heterogeneous inDaphnia as well as in rats.

Seasonal differences in the development of heightened resistance of the isolated heart during adaptation to physical exercise

Substantial seasonal differences are found in the development of the cardioprotective effect of adaptation to physical exercise: in winter such adaptation results in an increase of the resistance of the isolated heart to the contracture and arrhythmogenic effects of ischemia and reperfusion, while in summer the anticontracture effect is absent and the antiarrythmic effect is significantly lowered.

State of ovarian function in experimental hyperthyroidism and hyperthyrotropinemia

The effect of experimental hyperthyroidism and hyperthyrotropinemia on histophysiological processes in the female reproductive system is studied. Thyroid hormones and thyrotropin are found to exhibit a pronounced modulatory effect on morphogenetic processes in the female gonad.

Chorionic gonadotropin is shown to alter lactate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase activity in the pathologically altered liver and to exert a regulatory effect on the catalytic properties of these enzymes.

Different effects of glucocorticoids on the density of β-adrenoreceptors in the lungs and cerebral cortex

Tissue specificity of the effect of glucocorticoids on the density of β-adrenoreceptors is shown. The hormone increases the number of receptors in the lungs, but has no effect on their density in the cerebral cortex either in the norm or after down-regulation.
