Formation and excretion of thrombogenous and athrombogenous factors by endothelial cells is a constant physiological process taking place in all vessels. Endothelium is a huge endocrine gland which generates a wide spectrum of biologically active substances. Biologically active substances of endothelium are involved in many hemostasis mechanisms and regulation of local blood flow. BAS composition is determined by status of endothelial cells. In physiological state BAS of endothelium provide adequate local blood flow by synthesizing powerful anticoagulants, vasodilators and other biologically active substances. Activity of endothelium in physiological conditions provides trophism of tissues and fulfils protective function. Disturbance of any function or structure of endothelium significantly changes the spectrum of biologically active substances. Endothelium starts to secrete aggregants, coagulants, vasoconstrictors and other factors many of which contribute to generalization of the pathological process.

Cistanche (C. deserticola) - is one of the valuable technical plants of the Kazakhstan flora. The value of cistanche is due to the high content of various polysaccharides, iridoids, and other biologically active substances in the stolons, which are widely used in the eastern countries as feedstock for the production of many pharmacologically active compounds with a wide spectrum of action: increasing tone, potency, antioxidant activity. However, to date, the natural reserves of cistanche are substantially depleted, which makes both the problem of preserving this species and the search for alternative sources of its biologically active substances urgent. It is known that the cell culture of higher plants is an alternative way to obtain rare plant biomass. This paper presents the results of work on optimizing methods for obtaining callus cell cultures from C. deserticola seeds. Several lines of callus cultures of cistanche cells were obtained, growth characteristics were studied. It was established that the proposed method for obtaining callus cultures of cistanche cells is quite effective, the obtained lines have good growth characteristics and differ in color, which is evidence of the synthesis of various secondary metabolites.

In scientific and production experiments on 2661 cows, the effectiveness of the use of biologically active substances in hypofunction and persistent yellow ovarian bodies was studied. For the correction of the ovarian function of cows at different times after calving, biologically active substances were used: during hypofunction of the ovary (GPO) – trivit or tetrathine in a dose of 10–15 ml intramuscularly twice at intervals of 6–7 days, and at the second administration of vitamins – surfagon in dose of 10 ml once (folligon 1000 IO); with persistent yellow ovarian organs (PYOO) – estrofan in a dose of 2 ml once (fertagil 5 ml); at ovarian cysts they were crushed and injected 5 ml of surfagon and 2 ml of estrofan once. In the long experiments on 1887 cows, it was established that in the correction of ovarian function by biologically active substances, the stage of excitation of the sexual cycle during the 3–18 days is 89.9% of treated animals, and their fertility from the first insemination is on average 52.2%, on the other – 30.4%. In a special experiment conducted on 47 cows, a comparative assessment was made of the use of a surfagon and a folligon in ovarian hypofunction. Hunting was better at 12.3% of the cow, which was injected in a dose of 1000 folligon, than with the use of surfagon in a dose of 10 ml. At the same time, fertility of animals from the first insemination was almost the same (about 60%). In the presence of persistent yellow ovarian organs (n = 42), the results of fertilization of cows from the first insemination were more effective than estrofan at a dose of 2 ml with intramuscular administration (9.3%), comparing with the use of fertagil in a dose of 5 ml. On 140 cows of the Holstein breed, an experiment on the study of the effects of estrofan, bioestrovet and broestrofan at PYOO on the manifestation of sexual intercourse and fertility of cows was conducted. No significant difference was found between the effects of these substances. On average, the hunt was shown to be 82.8%, and was impoverished from the first insemination of 47.3%, of the second – 41.0%. There were somewhat higher indicators for ovarian function correction in the use of estrofan in a dose of 2 ml – respectively 86.5%–52.4%–42.3% and lower in the use of the broestrofan (78.6%–43.7%–39.7 %) In experiments on 62 cows with follicular ovarian bones, which were injected with cysts by intramuscular injection of 5 ml of surfagon and 2 ml of estrofan, it was found that after that during the 15–17 days, 51 cows (82.3%) were sexually hunted, and fertility from the first insemination was 54.9%. Another 10 cows showed hunting later, and one cow was rejected. On 483 cows, insemination of animals was studied at ovary correction at different times after calving, using surfagon in the GPO, and estrofan in the PYOO. Experiments have shown that insemination of cows with a physiologically normal condition of the uterus in ovarian function correction provides a relatively high fertilization rate even after 21–40 days after calving. Consequently, the experiments showed a high efficiency of correction of ovarian function in cows with the use of surfagon, folligon, estrofan and fertagil, taking into account the physiological state of the uterus. Conclusions: There is a need for a systematic clinical and gynecological examination of cows to determine the anatomical and functional state of the genitals, to identify animals that are suitable for insemination, or those requiring correction of reproductive function or treatment. In scientific and practical experiments it was established that during stimulation or correction of ovarian function with biologically active substances with previous research of reproductive organs, the stage of excitation of the sexual cycle during 3–15 days is shown by 89.9% of treated animals, and their fertility from the first insemination is on average 52.2%. It is established that the use of a surfagon and a folligon in the ovarian hypofunction is highly effective. Sexual hunting showed 83.3–95.6 treated cows, and fertility from the first insemination reached 60.0%. With persistent yellow ovarian organs estrofan was more effective. For 8 days, hunting was shown to be about 86.5% of cows with their fertilization after the first insemination of 52.4%. Insemination of cows with a physiologically normal condition of the uterus at the correction of ovarian function at different times after calving provides fertilization within the range of 51,6–65,9%. It is expedient to make correction in 40–45 days after calving of cows.

The identification of the diversity of microscopic fungi of lithobiont communities of the Argentine Islands in specimens collected during the 22nd Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition was the purpose of this work. Samples of rock, soil, mosses and lichens of rock micro-habitats of “Crustose lichen sub-formation and fruticose lichen and moss cushion sub-formation” were used in the work. These samples were used for extracting and cultivation of filamentous fungi on dense nutrient media. Determination of physiological and biochemical characteristics and identification of yeast-like fungi were performed using a microbiological analyser ‘Vitek-2’ (‘Bio Merieux’, France). Cultivation of microorganisms was carried out at temperatures from +2 to +37 °C. In results cultures of microscopic fungi of Zygomycota (Mucor circinelloides), Ascomycota (species of the genera cf. Tlielebolus, Talaromyces), representatives of the Anamorphic fungi group (Geomyces pannorum, species of the genera Alternaria, Acremonium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium) were isolated from Antarctic samples. Microscopic fungi Penicillium spp. were dominated after the frequency in the studied samples (54.5%). Rhodotorula rubra and Candida sp. among isolated yeast fungi, and dark pigmented fungi represented by Aureobasidium pulhdans and Exophiala spp. were identified. The biological properties of a number of isolated fungi (the potential ability to synthesise important biologically active substances: melanins, carotenoids, lipids) are characterised. Mycobiota of rock communities of Argentine Islands is rich on filamentous and yeast fungi similarly to other regions of Antarctica. A number of fungi investigated are potentially able to synthesise biologically active substances. The dark pigmented species of the genera Cladosporium, Exophiala, Aureobasidium pulhdans, capable of melanin synthesis; ‘red’ yeast Rhodotorula rubra (carotenoid producers and resistant to toxic metals); Mucor circinelloides and Geomyces pannorum, lipid producers, are among these fungi. Yeast-like fungi assimilated a wide range of carbohydrates, which will allow them to be further used for cultivation in laboratory and process conditions. The collection of technologically promising strains of microorganisms, part of the Culture Collection of Fungi at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine), is updated with isolated species (strains) of filamentous fungi and yeast – potential producers of biologically active substances, obtained within this study.

The drone brood contains a large number of substances with antioxidant activity. These substances require stabilization and strict adherence to storage conditions. Among these substances are unique decenoic acids, the content of which is an indicator of the quality of drone brood and products based on it. The ability of drone brood to reduce the manifestations of oxidative stress is shown. There are dietary supplements for food and drugs based on drone brood, which are used for a wide range of diseases. Together with drone brood, chitosan-containing products, propolis, royal jelly can be used. They enrich the composition with their own biologically active substances and affect the preservation of the biologically active substances of the drone brood. Promising are the products containing, in addition to the drone brood, a chitin-chitosan-melanin complex from bees, propolis, royal jelly. The chitin-chitosan-melanin complex in the amount of 5% in the composition of the adsorbent practically does not affect the preservation of decenic acids, while in the amount of 2% and 10% it somewhat worsens. The acid-soluble and water-soluble chitosan of marine crustaceans significantly worsens the preservation of decenoic acids in the product. Drone brood with royal jelly demonstrates a rather high content of decenoic acids. When propolis is introduced into the composition of the product, the content of decenoic acids increases according to the content of propolis.
