We studied disorders in serotonin metabolism in patients with chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver with and without inflammatory process (cytolysis syndrome) and their impact for the formation of depressive disorders. Blood serotonin content decreased in patients with cirrhosis of the liver with pronounced depressive disorders. Serum serotonin level was elevated in all patients with the cytolysis syndrome.
With the purpose of studying of association of polymorphic variants of genes glutathione S-transferases pi and mu (GSTP1 and GSTM1) with survival rate sick of liver cirrhosis (LC), it is lead uniinstantly research of 189 sick of LC of a virus (HBV, HCV, H V+H V) and an alcoholic etiology. Have been В С compared a frequencies of allocation of polymorphic variants of genes GSTP1 and GSTM1 between the died and persisted patients for the season 4 years. With greater survival rate of sick of LC associated: presence of genotype АА of gene GSTP1 (χ 2 Pearson, р = 0,008) and «null» genotype GSTM1 (χ 2 Pearson, р = 0,027). Chances of development of a lethal outcome at sick of LC with presence of genotypes GG and AG on gene GSTP1 in 2,5 times above, than at patients with genotype АА. Presence of active gene replica GSTM1 enlarges chances of development of a lethal outcome in 2 times. The received results testify to necessity of the count of genetical factors for the forecast of LC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
