Experimental study of the immunosuppressive properties of vitamin D

The experiments on CBA mice and guinea-pigs have shown that oral vitamin D administration suppressed natural killer activity, decreased the number of T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and prolonged allograft survival.     

Effects of passive administration of serotonin and catecholamine antibodies on alcohol consumption of C57Bl/6 mice in experimental alcoholism]

The experiments on C57Bl/6 mice with natural ethanol motivation have shown that passive injection of anti-noradrenaline and particularly antiserotonin antibodies reduces several times alcohol consumption by animals. On the contrary the injection of anti-dopamine antibodies to affect voluntary alcohol consumption by mice have been found.     

Zinc metabolism in male rats with a transplanted ovary]

Results of the research on the concentration of zink ions in the blood serum and prostate tissue, urine excretion level by means of heterotropic transplantation of the ovary to castrated rats (males) are presented. The degree of the organism estrogenization was assessed by determining the estradiol concentration in the blood serum by the radio-immune method. The research has shown that castration leads to a zink concentration decrease in the blood serum and its reduced excretion with the urine. A significant rise in the concentration of estradiol in the blood serum did not influence the zink metabolism in the organism.
