ABSTRACT
Aim: The objective of the research was to study the morphological changes in the most sensitive areas of the brain under
hypergravity, using standard general histological and histochemical, as well as immunohistochemical methods with antibodies to
glial fibrillary acid protein, neurofilament protein, Ki67 proliferation markers, and p53 apoptosis. Materials and Methods: The
experiment was performed on 40 white Wistar rats divided into 4 groups: 1st - control, 2nd - rats exposed to hypergravity for 8 min
at a centrifuge rotation rate of 5,000 rpm, 3rd - rats exposed to hypergravity 3 times during the 1st day for 5 min and at a rotation
rate of 4,000 rpm, and 4th - rats exposed to hypergravity 3 times for 5 min and a rotation speed of 4,000 rpm for 3 days.After the
end of the experiment, morphological changes in the brain were examined. Results: It was established that the animals of the first
group died from compression and dislocation of the brain resulted from overloads. Rats from the second group had clinical signs,
such as weakness, one- and two-sided paresis, which completely passed within an hour. The histological picture of the brain had
no specific features. In the third and fourth groups, the clinical symptoms were more pronounced, remaining until the end of the
1st day. Morphological picture of the immunohistochemical examination had no features but showed severe microcirculation
disorders when stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Conclusion: Thus, the hypergravitational model of cerebral ischemia allows
obtaining circulatory hypoxia of the brain, which is confirmed by clinical data and general histological methods.

experimental group; ×400 hypergravity and resulting total brain ischemia,
microcirculatory disorders such as perivascular,
pericellular edema, diapedesis hemorrhages,
stasis in the vessels, and cerebral hemorrhages
predominate on the day 1–3.

most sensitive to hypoxia of brain regions are
observed, as well as qualitative disorders in the
synthesis of cytoskeleton proteins.
3. A hypergravitational model of cerebral ischemia
can be used to create total circulatory hypoxia.
