    Abstract:
    The effect of simultaneous exposure to noise and dimethylformamide (DMF), noise and xylol and also vibration and lead on the metabolism of the myocardium of albino rats was studied. Combined effect of the factors was examined by the method of bifactorial design of the experiment. The animals were exposed to noise, intensity 46, 85 and 95 dB (2 and 4 hours), DMF in doses of 0.25, 1.00 and 5.00 ml . kg-1 (5 days in a week), and xylol in a concentration of 300 mg . m-3 (4 hours, 5 days in a week) for a period of 1.5 months, as also to vibration, intensity 100 Hz, 4 m . sec-2 (2 hours) and lead acetate in a dose of 20 mg . kg-1 (daily for a period of 10 days). The activity of GlDG, SucDG, LDG, G6PDG, G6P-ase, PGM and CytO in the myocardium of experimental and control animals was examined. Disturbances in metabolic and energy processes in the heart muscle were established after both isolated and combined exposure to the effect of the factors. Results of bifactorial variance analysis demonstrate that combined effect of noise and DMF results in not only independent effect of the two factors, but also in their interaction. Isolated effect of two factors (vibration and lead) can be assessed according to the relationship of some enzymes; their interaction can be noticed in GlDG, ATP-ase and G6P-ase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
