[Action of isolanide in acute cardiac insufficiency in rats].
Acute teste staged on rats showed low doses of the cardiac glycoside isolanide to bring down the level of total lipids, cholesterol and beta-lipoproteins, without causing any changes in the content of NAD, adenyl nucleotides, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and of phospholipids in themyocardium. Large doses of the drug uniformly reduce the content of all the co-enzymes fractions, the amount of ARP, ADP, cholesterol, beta-lipoproteins and the raise the level of total lipids, phospholipids and NEFA. In cases of acute cardiac insufficiency the drug produces a normalizing action on the co-enzymes and adenyl nucleotides content and reduces that of beta-lipoproteins and cholesterol. It appears that a definite part in the mechanism of the isolanide action plays its influence on the level of nucotinamide co-enzymes, adenyl nucleotides and lipids.
