APPLICATION OF TAURINE- AND ZINC-BASED COMPOSITIONS TO CORRECT LEAD-ASSOCIATED NEUROACTIVE AMINOACID DYSBALANCE IN HYPOTHALAMUS OF RATS

https://doi.org/10.51523/2708-6011.2012-9-1-26

Abstract

The changes in the levels of neuroactive amino acids in hypothalamus of rats after lead acetate introduction has been shown and the efficacy of taurine- and zinc-based drug compositions to correct the changes has been analyzed. The mixture consisting of taurine and zinc sulfate in a ratio of 4:1 showed the best results.
