КОРРЕКЦИЯ ПСИХОНЕВРОЛОГИЧЕСКИХ ПОСЛЕДСТВИЙ ОСТРОЙ ИНТОКСИКАЦИИ АЛКОГОЛЕМ У КРЫС НОВОЙ КОМПОЗИЦИЕЙ НА ОСНОВЕ АЦЕТИЛЦИСТЕИНА

The aim of the study is an experimental confirmation of the use of a new combination of biologically active substances with tonic and antioxidant effects. This combination contains acetylcysteine in its composition to reduce the severity of psychoneurological consequences of alcohol intoxication. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on male Wistar rats. The post-intoxication state was simulated by a single injection of ethanol (3 g/kg, intraperitoneally). Half an hour after awakening, the rats were divided into groups, which were injected with saline, acetylcysteine (1 g/kg), taurine (20 mg/kg), caffeine ( 20 mg/kg), succinic acid (100 mg/kg), lipoic acid (100 mg/kg), pyridoxine (400 mg/kg), or a combination of acetylcysteine with all these substances taken in a twice lower dose (except taurine). Before the treatment and 3 hours after it, the degree of neurological disorders was fixed according to the Combs and D'Alecy scale, in the Open Field test and the Adhesion test. Then the animals were euthanized to assess the level of glutathione, triglycerides and malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver homogenates, to determine the activity of enzymatic antioxidant systems and serum aminotransferases. Results. In the animals injected with alcohol, there were evident signs of neuropsychiatric disorders, manifested in a low motor activity and a decrease in fine motor skills. This state did not change after an oral administration of saline. After the administration of acetylcysteine, taurine, caffeine, succinic and lipoic acids, pyridoxine and, to a greater extent, their compositions, the compensation of neuropsychiatric disorders and improvement of fine motor skills were notified. In the liver of these animals, the levels of glutathione, MDA, triglycerides, and the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes corresponded to the physiological norm. Conclusion. The introduction of a combination of acetylcysteine with taurine, caffeine, pyridoxine, lipoic and succinic acids after an acute alcohol intoxication, to a greater extent than each of the substances separately, contributes to the function retention of the antioxidant system of hepatocytes. Besides, it reduces the level of their dystrophic changes and leads to a decrease in the severity of psychoneurological disturbances in the experimental animals.
