Abstract
The objective of the research was to study the signs of oxidative stress, the state of proteolysis, and the proteinase-inhibiting system of the blood plasma in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus (60 mg/kg intra-abdominally), complicated by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Levels of products of lipid peroxide oxidation, protein oxidative modification, nitrogen oxide metabolites, and activity of the antioxidant protection enzymes were determined by means of biochemical methods one hour after completion of the reperfusion period and on the 12th day. Increased intensity of lipid peroxidation was found to occur in the blood plasma of rats without diabetes mellitus in both terms of observation. This was accompanied by an increase in the activity of all the antioxidant enzymes, while in animals with diabetes the amount of lipid peroxidation products decreased in the ground of prevailing depression of all the antioxidant protection enzymes. Irrespective of a tendency of changes in the amount of POM products with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, their content is reliably higher in animals with diabetes mellitus in both terms of observation than those in animals without diabetes, which is indicative of a higher intensity of their oxidation. Without diabetes, the proteolytic activity of the blood plasma reacts by increasing the values of the studied parameters against the background of suppression of the proteinase inhibitory system during the entire observation period, in rats, with diabetes the parameters of plasma proteolysis and the state of the proteinase-inhibiting system remain without changes in both terms of the observation. The data obtained allowed us to state that diabetes mellitus considerably modifies the response of the systemic pathobiochemical indices to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.
