Pharmacological Correction of Long-Term Effects of Acute Severe Poisoning with Sodium Thiopental under Chronic Light Desynchronosis

Abstract

We experimentally studied the possibility of using a peptide extract from the pituitary gland of a reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) to correct the functional state of the body under the combined effect of acute severe poisoning with sodium thiopental in rats, at a dose of LD50 under long-term light desynchronosis. The research was conducted using the statistical method of two-factor analysis of variance. It was found that, under constant light, a peptide extract from the pituitary gland of a reindeer affects such parameters as diene conjugates concentration, the activity of glutathione-S-transferase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Under prolonged darkness, the extract under study affected the activity of glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
