Placental insufficiency is the leading cause of intrauterine growth restriction in developed world and results chronic hypoxemia fetus. Oxygen essential for fetal heart development, but a hypoxemic environment utero can permanently alter development cardiomyocytes. The present study aimed to investigate effect placental on total number cardiomyocytes, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, length coronary capillaries, expression genes regulated by hypoxia.We induced experimental from conception, which...

The effect of different incubation temperatures on the activity trout hydroxy‐indole‐O‐methyltransferase (HIOMT) was determined in order to study potential effects changes environmental temperature production melatonin. In study, N‐acetylserotonin (NAS) found inhibit pineal HIOMT, inhibitory concentration decreasing with a decrease temperature. An increase accompanied by an maximal velocity (V m ) and affinity substrate NAS for enzyme, while inhibitor remained more or less constant up 30°C....

The effect of pteridines and sex hormones on hydroxyindole‐O‐methyltransferase (HIOMT) catalysis was examined. Equivalent quantities partially purified bovine HIOMT incubated in the presence absence various test substances results fitted to Michaelis‐Menten equation. (triampterene xanthopterin) had no noticeable catalysis, while all examined were found be competitive inhibitors enzyme with respect hydroxy‐substrate. Testosterone concentrations causing inhibition above physiological estrone,...
