Abstract
Objective. To study the effect of incorporated 137Cs on the energy metabolism of the myocardium of white rats. Materials and methods. The work was carried out on 8 male white rats divided into 2 experimental groups, which were fed products contaminated with 137Cs for 7 days. Polarography was used to study the rate of oxygen consumption by myocardial tissue preparations on endogenous substrates, with the addition of exogenous succinic and glutamic acids, and with the addition of an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, 2,4-dinitrophenol.Results. An increase in the rate of respiration on endogenous substrates caused by the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation was noted. At the same time, no statistically significant change in the amount of endogenous substrates was found. Conclusion. The revealed violation of energy production in the myocardium of experimental animals is caused by the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, and can be explained by a change in the operation of potassium channels, which can explain the development of cardiovascular pathology under the action of ionizing radiation.
