Abstract

A study of the lipid bilayer of membranes of enterocytes of rats with chronic gastroenterocolitis was performed in this work. For the study we used fluorescent probes – ortho-hydroxy derivatives of oxazole, molecules of which bind non-covalently to the membranes of cells and respond to changes in the microenvironment. It has been found that during the course of chronic carrageenan-induced gastroenterocolitis an increase in hydration of the polar regions of enterocyte membranes occurs. The increase in hydration is attributed to the activation of enterocytes apoptosis. It has been shown that a fluorescent probe (2-(2¢-OH-phenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3-oxazole) can be used for the detection of apoptosis of enterocytes.
