    Abstract

    Vibration pathologies are one of the pressing issues in medicine and biochemistry. It is known that under the influence of vibration, the content of amide groups of proteins in tissues increases, which is one of the biochemical indicators of the organism. It has been shown that amidation occurs to a lesser extent in brain proteins of old rats exposed to vibration than in young rats. When Trifolium pratense L. flowers are added to the animals' diet, the level of amidation during vibration in old rats also decreases to a lesser extent than in young rats. However, in both cases, the level of amidation occurring is reduced by half under the influence of the plant. Based on these results, the use of T. pratense plant material is proposed as a means of reducing the negative impact of vibration on the body.
