Abstract
The paper deals with the results of the study on cellular beta-adrenergic receptors in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia of hypertensive genesis (hypertensive ence phalopathy) during drug therapy. The goal was to study the relationship of cerebrovascular disorders with the individual characteristics of the stress system. To estimate the beta-adrenergic receptors activity the osmotic fragility test (beta-ARM index of erythrocytes’ membrane upon beta-blocker exposure) has been used. Analyzing the data obtained in the study of patients with hypertensive encephalopathy (n = 81) and controls (n = 33) consisted in within- and between-group comparison of the indices obtained thrice during 2 months at diff erent stages of treatment. The obtained results showed that beta-APM indices allow to differentiate various stages of the disease at the cellular level, depend on the physiological state and sex of patients, and can serve as an objective therapeuticprognostic criterion for evaluating the treatment effi ciency, thus allow optimizing approaches to prevent the development of cerebrovascular disorders
