title: [Metabolic activity of the gastrocnemius muscles in atherosclerotic lesion of the abdominal aorta and arteries of the extremities].
abstract: The histochemical investigation of the oxidizing-reducing enzymes in the gastrocnemius muscle was carried out on the material of 42 patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the abdominal aorta and the extremity arteries. The results obtained were compared with the muscle blood flow value and the level of the partial strain of oxygen in the gastrocnemius muscle. A conclusion is made that it is expedient to investigate the level of metabolic activity of muscles of the injured extremity for the estimation of the vitability of muscles which is very important for solving the question about the possible revascularization of the extremity in severe ischemia due to chronic occlusing process in the extremity arteries.
