Abstract

The action of solar light transformed by special screens has been studied on CD-1 male mice. In the active control group, mice were irradiated through screens absorbing the UV-component. In the experimental group, screens transforming the UV-component into the orange-red light were used. In the active control, changes in the swimming activity, as compared to the same parameter before irradiation, were manifested much less than in animals of the experimental group. A morphological analysis showed changes in the structure of all cardiomyocyte organelles studied: the relative area of mitochondria in the experimental mice increased by more than 20% compared to intact animals (p < 0.05). A significant increase in the area of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, by 23.4% (p < 0.05), and in the volume of the myofibrillar apparatus, by 19.4% (p < 0.05), was detected. The results of our experiment show that the irradiation with using an additional orangered component improves the physical endurance 1.5 times and initiates morphogenetic processes in cardiac muscle cells.
