Experimental evaluation of the influence of electromagnetic radiation and acute alcohol intoxication on the indicators of mineral metabolism and antioxidant protection in erythrocytes and blood plasma of rats

Abstract

The aim of the research was a comparative analysis of the effect of electromagnetic radiation and acute alcohol intoxication on the parameters of mineral metabolism and antioxidant protection in erythrocytes and blood plasma of rats. Materials and methods. The research was performed on 128 white non-linear rats. The study was conducted on five experimental models: acute ethanol poisoning, acute ethanol poisoning against the background of preliminary alcoholization, exposure to electromagnetic radiation for 1, 2 and 3 months. Spectrophotometrically determined the content of iron, copper, transferrin, ceruloplasmin and the activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in the blood plasma of rats, the content of glutathione in blood erythrocytes. Results and discussion. A unidirectional nature of changes in the indicators of antioxidant protection and mineral metabolism in acute alcohol intoxication and electromagnetic irradiation was established, which consists in a decrease in the content of iron, transferrin, an increase in the content of ceruloplasmin, glutathione, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activity. At the same time, a decrease in the iron content and a change in the parameters of antioxidant protection in the blood plasma are more pronounced in acute ethanol poisoning than in electromagnetic irradiation. Conclusions. Ceruloplasmin, transferrin, glutathione and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase are targets for the action of electromagnetic radiation and ethanol. Determination of the activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in blood plasma has a prognostic value for determining the degree of liver damage not only with alcohol intoxication, but also with electromagnetic irradiation of the decimeter range.
