Abstract
The effect of nanocomposite obtained by means of solid-phase mechanochemical synthesis from non-fruit parts of buckthorn (buckthorn-based serotonin powder, BBSP) on the immunophysiological status of dwarf hamsters during autumn decrease of photoperiod was studied. It was shown that the addition of BBSP to food in curds has no effect on the amount of curds ate by the animals, does not eliminate the basic morphological changes developed in the animals under the conditions of decreasing daylight hours, does not affect the degree of ecdysis. At the same time, the addition of BBSP promotes reliable decrease in body mass, and increase in the spontaneous activity of the animals during the first four weeks of the experiment, conservation of the summer type of thermoregulation (high energy consumption for the compensation of the action of cold, and prevalence of chemical thermogenesis) and an increase in the humoral immune response to the introduction of sheep erythrocytes.
