Зміни активності NO-синтаз та оксидативних процесів при активації 5-HT-рецепторів у шлунку та товстій кишці за умов стрептозотоциніндукованого цукрового діабету

Abstract

We investigated the activity of NO-synthases, lipoperoxidation processes, antioxidant defense enzymes in the muscular layers of stomach and large intestine. The L-arginine concentration in blood plasma was also monitored under conditions of 2-weeks activation of 5-HT4 receptors by mosaprid in streptozocin-induced diabetes mellitus. We showed that the onset of diabetes mellitus is accompanied by a 2.4-2.8-fold increase in the activity of inducible NO-synthase and a 23-40% increase in the SOD activity. The nitric oxide content and TBA products in the muscular layers of stomach and large intestine were increased, whereas the motor-evacuational function of the stomach and large intestine decreased. Activation of 5-HT4 receptors by mosaprid under conditions of diabetes mellitus decreased the activity of inducible NO-synthase, the lipoperoxidation processes, nitrite anion content and TBA products in muscular layers of stomach and large intestine by 23%. At the same time, we observed an increase in the motor-evacuational function of stomach and large intestine without affecting the blood sugar level.
