title: [Protein synthesis in cardiac cells and the ultrastructural dynamics of cardiomyocytes of hibernating animals during the hibernation cycle].
abstract: A significant increase in protein synthesis correlating with ultrastructural dynamics of cardiomyocyte organelle convertions has been demonstrated in cardiomyocytes of ground squirrel during arousal from hibernation. In hibernating ground squirrels, the ultrastructure of protein-synthesizing organelles and of the cardiomyocyte nucleus points out to the readiness of cells to active synthesis of proteins. In the perinuclear area of cardiomyocytes abundant ribosomes, elements of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex, mitochondria and high-energy substrates--glycogen and lipid inclusions--are seen. The cardiomyocyte nuclei are large, with highly convoluted borders and abundant pores, their nucleolar structure is granular, the chromatin is mainly diffuse. The potency of cardiomyocyte protein-synthesizing system of hibernating ground squirrels is realized every time at periodical arousals during hibernation. The role of cyclic changes of protein synthesis rate in adaptation of cells of hibernating mammals to functioning at various temperatures is discussed.
