Abstract

On the model of focal ischemia-reperfusion of the brain investigated the induction of nitrosative stress in mitochondria of rats hearts and possible mechanisms of protective action of ecdysterone. It is shown that focal ischemia-reperfusion of the brain induced in myocardial mitochondria the activation of constitutive and inducible de novo synthesis of NO by oxidation of L-arginine and not oxidative synthesis of NO through the recovery of oxidized stable metabolites of NO. Strong evidence of induction of nitrosative stress in heart mitochondria by focal ischemia-reperfusion of the brain, was a significant increase in mitochondrial pool of nitrate- and nitrite-anions and pools of nitrosothiols, that is proof of the formation and decay of peroxynitrite--a key marker of nitrosative stress. Also was observed increase in heart mitochondria by focal ischemia-reperfusion of the brain, content key regulator of de novo synthesis of NO-hydrogen sulfide and activity of inducible arginase II and, as a result, the pool of carbamide, which is also a regulator of the synthesis of NO. Previous introduction for animals herbal extract Serratsula coronata, enriched ecdysterone, reduces induction nitrosative stress in mitochondria of rats hearts under conditions of focal ischemia-reperfusion of the brain.
