Abstract

The aim — the effect of various concentrations of methanandamide in vitro on the expression level of mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 (p38MARK) in the adrenal tissue of rats was studied. Materials and methods. The material for examination was the tissue of the adrenal glands of matured male female rats in the Wistar line. The detection of p38MAРК was performed by immunoblotting assay using monoclonal antibodies. Results. It was found that the level of p38MAPK expression was only increased at methanandamide concentration of 10–8 mol/l. Conclusion. Methanandamide under low concentrations (when apoptosis is activated in the cells of the adrenal cortex in female rats) can effect through the involvement of p38MARK.
