Lm. Livanova et al., NORMALIZING EFFECT OF AIRIONS ON INTACT A ND NEUROTIZED RATS WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF BEHAVIOR, Zurnal vyssej nervnoj deatelnosti im. I.P. Pavlova, 45(2), 1995, pp. 402-409
The work was carried out in 98 white male rats weighting 200-250 g. Ty
pological properties of bahaviour were estimated by locomotor activity
in the open field. Neurosis was induced by electro-pain irritation (1
5 min daily during 3 weeks), accompanied by the white noise (4 h daily
). The rats were influenced by air ions generated by Chizhevsky airion
izer (<<Elion-132>>) for 2 h daily during the period of neurotization.
It was shown that the degree of some pathological changes in neurosis
depended on typological properties of rats. Air ions were established
to prevent completely development of physiological changes typical fo
r the model of experimental neuroses, i.e., increase of arterial press
ure, Hildebrandt index and gastric ulcer formation. Air ions significa
ntly decreased the number of gastric mucous membrane erosions. Air ion
s normalized activity of respiratory enzymes (succinate dehydrogenase)
and NADH-dehydrogenase in rat brain cells and activated their explora
tory behaviour.
