Background: Every day, interest in the Arctic is increasing, more and more people are arriving in adverse climatic and geographical conditions of the Far North. Therefore, there is a need to study the adaptation of vascular endothelium to the conditions of the far north.
Aims: To assess the change in the concentration of endothelin in the sailors of the transarctic flight “TRANSARCTICA-2019”.
Methods: The subjects of the study were 33 sailors (29 men, 4 women) average age 39 years (range: 20-63). Sampling was carried out at zero point – Arkhangelsk N64°33′ E40°32′, and at a high point – island Hayes N80°34′ E57°41′. The parameters were determined gender, age, the concentration of endothelin-1 (determined by enzyme immunoassay). Statistics. The article was prepared as part of a study supported by a grant from the RFBR project No. 18-00-00814-COMFI (18-00-00478).
Results: The concentration of endothelin-1 in the crew of the transarctic flight TRANSARCTICA-2019 – Minimum concentration (pg / ml) – 0.814 – 2.321, The maximum concentration (pg / ml) 8.369-12.662, Mean value (M) (pg / ml) and standard deviation (SD) Mean value (M) (pg / ml) and standard deviation (SD).
M = 4. 79 SD = 2.10. Statistically significant differences were obtained in the average concentration of endothelin in sailors at the zero and high points in the population
(t = -3.6532, df = 31, p = 0.0009).
Conclusions: It was shown that under the conditions of a trans-latitudinal flight, the concentration of endothelin-1 increases. This may indicate the formation of a state of maladaptation of the vascular endothelium with a tendency to vasoconstriction in high latitudes. Further research is needed on changes in the parameters of endothelial dysfunction during adaptation to the climate of the Far North.
