[Effect of a vitamin complex with mineral substances on blood coagulation in rats when administered by different methods and in experimental hypercoagulation]. / Vliianie kompleksa vitaminov s mineral'nymi veshchestvami na gemokoaguliatsiiu u krys pri raznykh sposobakh vvedeniia i éksperimental'noi giperkoagulemii.

Experiments conducted on white rats have evidenced that a single injection of a complex of vitamins with mineral substances ("Complivit") in doses similar to the therapeutic induces a short-term hupocoagulemia, which is reproduced during long-term administration. The animals tolerance to thromboplastin is significantly increased in the period of hypocoagulemia. It is suggested that the complex can produce a favourable effect in cases with hypercoagulemia.

[Effect of a physical load and vitamin- and trace element-enriched feed on the reproductive function of white rats under prolonged hypokinesia]. / Vliianie fizicheskoi nagruzki i korma, obogashchennogo vitaminami i mikroélementami, na vosproizvoditel'nuiu funktsiiu belykh krys pri dlitel'noi gipokinezii.

The effect of exercise and diet supplemented with vitamins and trace elements on the reproductive function of white rats exposed to 3-day hypokinesia was studied. Hypokinetic females in a regular diet produced offspring in 33% and those on an enriched diet in 50% cases. The same values were obtained in exercising rats, the time allowed for their exercises making 3% of the total experimental time. A combined use of an enriched diet and exercises resulted in a 100% increase of pupping events.

[Characteristics of lipid metabolism depending on the nature of occupational activity]. / Osobennosti lipidnogo obmena v zavisimosti ot kharaktera trudovoi deiatel'nosti

The examination was conducted on 630 normal males when at rest in a sanatorium, their permanent jobs being characterized by different nervous and emotional strain (pilots, ground aviation specialists). The lipid metabolism parameters of the pilots appeared to differ from the normal ones. The differences in the metabolic indices of the two profession groups are traced both in the younger, and in the older age-groups, which gives ground to believe that the typical peculiarities of the metabolism are formed in individuals with nervous-emotional jobs as early as in the young age under the effect of professional factors. This should be kept in mind when undertaking preventive measures against atherosclerosis in persons working under high nervous and emotional strain.

[Role of vitamins in the prevention of atherosclerosis]. / K voprosu o roli vitaminov v profilaktike ateroskleroza

Persons doing brain work and taking aerovit in three courses of 30 days each with intervals of 5-6 months were kept under observation over a period of 13-15 months. While improving the vitamin allowance the course-wise taking of aerovit helped normalize the lipids metabolism factors characterizing an increased predisposition to atherosclerosis, the favourable effect being traced for 4-5 months after discontinuance of the preparation ingestion. Repeated courses contributed to a further improvement of the lipoid metabolism. A tendency towards positive changes in the tonicity of the intracranial vessels was recorded, while in subjects with an increased pulse wave propagation rate along the elastic type vessels this tonicity was seen to decline. With the available data on the positive effect of aerovit upon the lipoid and protein metabolism and some clinical and instrumental findings serving as a background an inference is made that a prolonged (course-wise) application of aerovit can be of help in preventing the development of atherosclerosis.
