Theme: Arterial Thromboembolism » Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Background: One of the areas of clinical medicine is the study of the mechanisms of adaptation of the vascular endothelium as a risk factor for thrombosis.
Aims: The study aimed to determine the possible relationship between the development of endothelial dysfunction and the antioxidant system with modifiable risk factors in a trans-latitudinal flight in the Arctic.
Methods: The prospective study included 32 crewmembers of the research vessel «Mikhail Somov» during the «TransArctic-2019» integrated marine scientific expedition. Venous blood sampling was carried out before the went on a voyage (zero point) to the city of Arkhangelsk (64° 33′ north latitude 40° 32′ east longitude) and at the highest point of the expedition – Hayes Island (80° 34′ north latitude 57° 41′ east longitude). The determination of the concentration of endothelin-1 and the total antioxidant ability of serum (AOS) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The study was supported by a grant from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research – project No. 18-00-00814-COMFI (18-00-00478).
Results: Statistically differences were obtained in the concentration of endothelin at zero (M = 4,79 ± 2,1) pg/ml and high points (M = 7,02 ± 2,42) pg/ml, t = -3,6532, df = 31, p < 0,001, the concentration of endothelin-1 significantly increases, which indicates the first signs of the formation of maladaptation of the vascular endothelium in the form of vasoconstriction. 84,4 % of crewmembers at a high point showed a high overall antioxidant ability, which may indicate compensation for antioxidant defence mechanisms. It was shown that AEC in the study group among smokers was statistically significantly higher than in non-smokers.
Conclusions: Moreover, the predominance of high AOC among the crew of the vessel indicates an increased oxidative load on the human body to neutralize the excess amount of reactive oxygen species.
