Small Heat Shock Proteins HSP10 and HSP27 in the Left Ventricular Myocardium in Rats with Arterial Hypertension and Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

We studied the expression of small heat shock proteins HSP10 and HSP27 in left ventricular cardiomyocytes in animals with arterial hypertension, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and their combination. The experiment was performed on 38-week-old male Wistar-Kyoto and 38-57-week-old SHR (spontaneously hypertensive) rats. Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus was modeled by single parenteral injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg). Expression of...
