| Abstract: | Surface activity, biochemical composition and morphology of the rat lungs were studied in norm, under effect of acute hypoxia and after infusion of obsidan (1 mg/100g). The data permit suggesting that under the influence of obsidan and hypoxia a stability index of surfactants and quantity of phospholipids decreased, while the quantity of lysophosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine increased. Morphology studies show that after hypoxia and obsidan infusion oedema and cell destruction developed in the lung. The inhalation of exogenous surfactant increased stability index and quantity of phospholipids, decreased the quantity of lysophospholipids but did not eliminate morphological disorders in the lung induced by hypoxia and obsidan infusion. |
