Nanosized titanium dioxide material. Modulation of spontaneous motility and gaba-dependent regulation of functions of stomach smooth muscles in vivo
Journal Title: Біологічні Студії - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Electron scanning microscopy was used to obtain the image and identify the size of TiO2 nanoparticles. Using the tenzometric method in the isometric mode, it was established that chronic effect of TiO2 on stomach smooth muscles led to redistribution of the amplitudes of spontaneous contractions in terms of their frequencies. An increase in frequency of their contractions, decrease in the duration of contraction–relaxation cycle, the disturbance of the asymmetry of the duration of contraction–relaxation development, a reduction in Montevideo index of contractions and Alexandria index of contractions were demonstrated. It was also shown the existance of the divergence in numerical values of frequency-amplitude complexes, TiO2-modified spontaneous contractive activity of smooth muscles of stomach and caecum. In the conditions of long-term chronic influence (100 days), TiO2 removes the regulatory mechanisms of depressing a release of inhibition neuromediators from neurons of the intramural nervous interlacement, mediated by GABAА- and GABAС-receptors, in smooth muscles of stomach and caecum.

Juncus dichotomus Elliott (Juncaceae) – new alien plant species for Transcarpathia
Juncus dichotomus Elliott is a new alien species in the Transcarpathian region (Ukraine). Previously, we have shown this species only in Volyn and Zhytomyr regions. We found these species on the northeastern outskirts of...
Oxygen-transport function of hemoglobin in rats under acute and chronic intoxication chlorpyrifos used in various doses
The paper is dedicated to the results of investigation of the impact of widely used pesticide chlorpyrifos on the oxygen-transport function of hemoglobin in rats. Сhlorpyrifos was administered orally to experimental anim...
Phenes of water frogs (Pelophylax) as the indicators of water bodies’ contamination in Pre-Carpathians, Roztochia, Lesser and Western Polissia
The results of phenotypic variability of water frogs (Pelophylax) analysis depending on internal and external influence factors are presented. 345 individuals of three species (Marsh Frog, Pool Frog and Edible Frog) were...
Sulfur reducing activity of Desulfuromonas sp. YSD S-3 bacteria under cultivation at different conditions
The sulfur reducing activity of sulfur-reducing bacteria Desulfuromonas sp. YSD S-3 for the influence of aeration, pH and temperature was studied. The highest sulfur reducing activity was found in culture fluid (48.4 µM...
