An enzymatic activity of shuttle systems for reduction equivalents transport (malate-aspartate, glycerophosphate, lactate, glutamate and beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase) was studied spectrophotometrically in liver tissue of intact rabbits and animals with experimental atherosclerosis. Content of malate, oxaloacetate, glutamate, alpha-ketoglutarate, alpha-glycerophosphate, dihydroacetone phosphate, lactate, pyruvate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate were studied. In experimental atherosclerosis coordinated functioning of the enzymes, which participate in the utilization of the cytoplasmic NAD-H2 and the alteration in the ratio of reduced and oxidized metabolites in the systems, were found to be impaired. |
