title: [Effect of adrenaline on nucleotide composition and the degree of DNA methylation in the canine myocardium].
abstract: Nucleotide composition and changes of 5-methylcytosine content (m5C) in DNA isolated from male-dogs' cardiac muscle (stomach) under the influence of adrenalin have been studied. After slow intravenous injection of adrenalin in extremal doses (7 mg during 5 days) quantity of m5C in DNA decreases in 1,2 times in comparison with the control. Is has been suggested that the decrease of DNA methylation by cytosine is possible as a result of increase of enzyme activity demethylizing DNA by cytosine and (or) inactivation of methilase specifically methylizing DNA by cytosine.
