RESUMO
We studied the effect of bovine brain gangliosides, individual ganglioside GM1, and melatonin on the rate of wound closure under in vitro conditions and the effect of melatonin on the rate of wound healing under in vivo conditions. It was shown that bovine brain gangliosides and melatonin reliably increased cell migration in the experimental wound model. This effect was detected when the cell cultures were treated with the test preparations after wound infliction and when the cultures of human keratinocytes were pretreated before wounding. Analysis of the effect of melatonin on the rate of wound healing in vivo showed that melatonin accelerated this process, especially at the middle stages corresponding to the proliferation phase (days 3-6 after surgery). Histological analysis revealed intensification of epidermal cell proliferation at the edges of the wound starting from day 4 after surgery.

The kinetics of protein synthesis was investigated in primary cultures of hepatocytes from old rats in serum-free medium. The rats were fed mixed fodder supplemented with glutamic acid and then transferred to a regular mixed fodder. The amplitude of protein synthesis rhythm in hepatocytes isolated from these rats increased on average 2-fold in comparison with the rats not receiving glutamic acid supplement. Based on this indicator reflecting the degree of cell-cell interactions, the cells from old rats were not different from those of young rats. The effect was preserved for 3-4 days. These results are discussed in connection with our previous data on preservation of the effect of single administration of gangliosides, noradrenaline, serotonin, and other synchronizers on various cell populations. In contrast to the other investigated factors, glutamic acid is capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier, which makes its effect possible not only in the case of hepatocytes and other non-brain cells, but also in neurons.
