Считается, что  выбор между реализацией программы гибели или выживания клетки определяет соотношение антиапоптотических и проапоптотических белков.</p><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Выявить влияние мелатонина на  экспрессию антиапоптотического Bcl-2 и проапоптотического Bad и соотношение Bcl-2/Bad в лютеоцитах яичников крыс Вистар в острый (3-и сутки) и восстановительный (7-е  и  14-е  сутки) периоды после однократного воздействия экспериментальной гипертермии (ЭГ).</p></sec><sec><title>Методы</title><p>Методы. Разогревание составляло не  более 17  минут. МТ вводили подкожно (0,1 мг в 0,2 мл физиологического раствора (ФР)) в течение 3 суток после ЭГ. Группы сравнения – крысы с введением ФР (контроль) и животные после  ЭГ и  ФР. Экспрессию Bad и  Bcl-2 определяли иммуногистохимически на 3-и, 7-е и 14-е сутки после ЭГ и введения МТ/ФР.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. На 3-и сутки после ЭГ эффект гормона не выявлялся. Через неделю после ЭГ + МТ площадь экспрессии Bad уменьшалась значительнее, чем у крыс после ЭГ + ФР, что приводило к росту Bcl-2/Bad. Это свидетельствовало об  увеличении антиапоптотической защиты, блокирующей развитие внутреннего пути апоптоза на  данном сроке. Через 2  недели после ЭГ  +  ФР площадь Bcl-2 уменьшалась значительнее, чем площадь Bad. В результате Bcl-2/Bad практически в 2 раза снижался по сравнению с контролем. Это свидетельствовало об активации «митохондриальной ветви» апоптоза лютеоцитов. Через 2 недели после ЭГ + МТ площади Bad и Bcl-2 уменьшались синхронно, что восстанавливало Bcl-2/Bad до контроля.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Введение МТ после ЭГ сдвигает соотношение площадей экспрессии Bcl-2/Bad в  сторону увеличения антиапоптотического Bcl-2 уже через неделю восстановительного периода и способствует более ранней нормализации Bcl-2/Bad до физиологического уровня (уже через 2 недели после ЭГ + МТ).</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Background</title><p>Background. There  is growing interest in  determining the  role of  melatonin in the regulation of proliferation and apoptosis of ovarian cells at various diseases and destabilizing influences. It is believed that the choice between the implementation of  a  cell  death or  survival program determines the  ratio of  anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic proteins.</p></sec><sec><title>The aim</title><p>The aim. To identify the effect ofmelatonin onthe expression ofanti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and pro-apoptotic Bad and the Bcl-2/Bad ratio in the ovarian luteocytes of Wistar rats in the acute (day 3) and recovery (days 7 and 14) periods after a single exposure to experimental hyperthermia.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Methods. Warming up took no  more than 17  minutes. Melatonin was injected subcutaneously (0.1 mg in 0.2 ml of physiological solution) for 3 days after experimental hyperthermia. Comparison groups included rats with physiological solution injection (control) and  animals after experimental hyperthermia + physiological solution injection. The Bad and Bcl-2 expression was determined immunohistochemically on days 3, 7 and 14 after experimental hyperthermia + physiological solution or melatonin injection.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. On the day 3 after experimental hyperthermia, the effect of the hormone was not detected. A week after experimental hyperthermia + melatonin injection, the Bad expression area decreased more significantly than in rats after experimental hyperthermia + physiological solution injection, which led to an increase in Bcl-2/ Bad ratio. This indicated an increase in anti-apoptotic protection, blocking the development of the internal apoptosis pathway at this time. 2 weeks after experimental hyperthermia + physiological solution injection, the Bcl-2 area decreased more significantly than the Bad area. As a result, the Bcl-2/Bad ratio decreased almost 2-fold compared to the control group. This indicated the activation of the “mitochondrial branch” of luteocyte apoptosis. 2 weeks after experimental hyperthermia + melatonin injection, the Bad and Bcl-2 areas decreased synchronously, which restored Bcl-2/ Bad to control values.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. The  melatonin injection after experimental hyperthermia shifts the ratio of Bcl-2/Bad expression areas towards an increase in anti-apoptotic Bcl2 already a  week after the  recovery period and  promotes earlier normalization of Bcl-2/Bad to physiological levels (as early as 2 weeks after experimental hyperthermia + melatonin injection).</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>мелатонин</kwd><kwd>апоптоз</kwd><kwd>экспериментальная гипертермия</kwd><kwd>яичники крыс</kwd><kwd>жёлтые тела</kwd><kwd>лютеоциты</kwd><kwd>Bad</kwd><kwd>Bcl-2</kwd><kwd>Bcl-2/Bad</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>melatonin</kwd><kwd>apoptosis</kwd><kwd>experimental hyperthermia</kwd><kwd>rat ovaries</kwd><kwd>corpus luteum</kwd><kwd>luteocytes</kwd><kwd>Bad</kwd><kwd>Bcl-2</kwd><kwd>Bcl-2/Bad</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование поддержано бюджетным проектом Научно-исследовательского института клинической и экспериментальной лимфологии – филиала ФГБНУ «Федеральный исследовательский центр Институт цитологии и генетики СО РАН» (FWNR-2022-0009).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Бочкарева А.Л., Мичурина С.В., Коненков В.И., Бочкарев И.Г.
