title: [The neurohumoral systems of patients with ischemic heart disease and under emotional-pain stress: the means for their pharmacological regulation].
abstract: The sympathetic-adrenal and kallikrein-kinin systems were studied in 225 patients with various coronary heart diseases before and after therapy with lipoic acid (150 mg/day), tocopherol (100 mg/day), anaprilin (40 mg/day), prodectin (750 mg/day) or their combination. Myocardial and adrenal catecholamine levels were measured in experiments on animals exposed to emotional pain stress. Their levels were found to be affected by lipoic acid, tocopherol, obsidan or their combinations in the same doses, taking into account species specificity. Lipoic acid therapy for patients with coronary heart disease decreased epinephrine excretion, enhanced the elimination of vanillylmandelic acid and norepinephrine. Tocopherol lowered daily urinary epinephrine levels and increased the release of vanillylmandelic acid, without changing epinephrine excretion. Emotional pain stress resulted in myocardial epinephrine accumulation and adrenal norepinephrine in the animals. Lipoic acid prevented this accumulation, whereas tocopherol did not possess this effect.
