Abstract

The effect of chronic postnatal stress on changes in autonomic regulation of cardiac rhythm, the state of the pro- and antioxidant system in 20 white, non-ostensibly sexually mature male rats and 24 females at the age of 3 months were studied. It was found that chronic postnatal stress in males rates causes a compensatory decrease in the regulatory influence of the sympathetic part of autonomic nervous system on the sinoarthrial node of the heart (the moda increased by 12.2%), they also changed automatism (heart rate decreased by 14.9%) and conductivity (increasing the duration of PQ by 30.24% and QTc by 7.78%), and in rats-females increased ventricular repolarization (T wave amplitude increase by 39.4 %). In the heart of the rats of both sexes exposed to stress, the processes of lipid peroxidation were intensified and the activity of the enzyme level of antioxidant increased, more significantly in males rats (increased activity of superoxide dismutase in 18 times, catalase in 2,9 times), as well as enzyme link of antioxidant system in blood (the content of ceruloplasmin increased in 1.5 times, peroxidase activity increased in 15.9 times). Consequently, chronic postnatal stress causes changes in autonomic regulation of cardiac rhythm, pro- and antioxidant systems which are more pronounced in males rats.
