Popis: It was shown that chromatin contained in human lymphocytes has two stages of denaturation: with T(d)VII = 94.4 degrees C, Q(d)VII = 50.8 J/g DNA, and T(d)VIII = 105.1 degrees C Q(d)VIII = 44.9 J/g DNA. The peptide bioregulator prostamax causes a redistribution of heat among endotherms T(d)III and T(d)IV and a shift of both endotherms to low temperatures by 2.9 and 1.0 degrees C, respectively. It was supposed that the redistribution of heat among endotherms is connected with a partial relaxation of the 30-nm-thick fiber in the 10-nm filament. A weak decrease in T(d)VIII and T(d)VII of lymphocytes treated with prostamax compared to untreated ones is connected with small structural changes of nucleosomal organization in the 10-nm filament and 30-nm-thick fiber.
