Abstract

Iron is the primary element involved in gas transport by blood and is a component of antioxidant enzymes within cells. Free iron, which is not bound to proteins or other molecules, can be chemically active and play different roles in cells and tissues. However, its high chemical activity can also lead to the formation of free radicals, which can damage cells and cause oxidative stress. In heart metabolism, where free radicals and oxidative stress can be harmful, control of free iron is very important. The body uses various mechanisms to control free iron levels, such as iron-binding proteins and antioxidants, to ensure the right balance and prevent possible damage. The dynamics of non-heme iron content in the myocardium were investigated under conditions of “adrenaline shock”. The amount of non-heme iron in the myocardium and blood plasma was determined at the beginning, middle, and end of the experiment. Simultaneously, the content of malonic dialdehyde, diene conjugates, superoxide dismutase, catalase, reduced glutathione, and hem oxygenase activity was also determined. By the end of the experiment, the content of non-heme iron in the myocardium had decreased, coinciding with an increase in the activity of hemoxygenase-1. Conversely, plasma levels of non-heme iron had increased, along with an elevation in oxidative stress markers such as malondialdehyde and diene conjugates in blood plasma. The antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase showed a decrease initially, followed by restoration towards the end of the experiment. A similar pattern was observed in the level of reduced glutathione. These findings suggest that under conditions of myocardial metabolic damage, hem oxygenase protection is activated to counteract excessive nonheme iron accumulation, thereby shielding the heart from oxidative stress development. However, in blood plasma, the level of active iron increases, leading to heightened oxidative stress and a decrease in antioxidant enzyme levels. Towards the conclusion of the experiment, the antioxidant blood system levels stabilize.
