[Effect of heparin on the activity of liver microsome oxidative enzyme systems in healthy rats and rats with experimental glomerulonephritis].

In experiments on mongrel rats it was found that heparin in doses of 2, 5, and 10 mg/kg had an inducing effect on the oxidative systems of hepatic microsomes: hexenal test period was shortened, cytochrome P450 content increased, relative liver weight rose; the activity of histochemically-detectable NAD-enzymes of hepatocytes became greater. Heparin was capable of considerable (2-3-fold) stimulation of antitoxic activity of the liver reduced in experimental glomerulonephritis. The effect of heparin on the antitoxic function of the liver did not correlate with its effect, on the blood coagulation system.

[Functional and structural myocardial changes in experimental glomerulonephritis].

Functional structural changes in the myocardium in different developmental phases of nephrotoxic glomerulonephritis were studied in rats. Electrocardiography, electron microscopy, and biochemical study of respiration, linked with oxidative phosphorylation, by polarography in the fraction of mitochondria isolated by differential centrifugation were employed. In experimental glomerulonephritis the ECG shifts were attended with diminished oxidative phosphorylation in the myocardial mitochondria, destructive changes in the cardiomyocytes (disorganization of mitochondria, myofibrils, endoplasmic reticulum), loosening and swelling of the basilar membranes, and changes and swelling in the capillaries and interstitium. The functional structural changes in the heart are reversible in character but persist for a longer period of time than the clinical manifestations of glomerulonephritis.

[Experimental study of azathioprine in nephrotoxic nephritis in rats].

In tests conducted with 165 mongrel sexually mature and immature rats it is shown that azathioprine used in nephrotoxic nephritic improves the general condition, reduces the edema of subcutaneous cellular tissues, as well as the intensity of proteinuria and helps retaining its selective type, lessens the degree of hypo- and dpsproteinemia and, especially, of hyper-beta-lipoproteinemia; in the kidneys the pathomorphological changes characteristic of nephritis become less marked. Azathioprine does not influence the process of acido-and ammoniogeness in the tubuloar system of the nephron, nor does it modify diuresis. The effect of azathioprine is most spectacular in the acive phase of developing nephritis. In rattlings with nephritis theaction af azathioprine in regard to a number of factors (proteins, beta-lipoproteids, gamma-globulins of the blood) is somewhat stronger than in the sexually mature rats.
