title: [Effect of succinic semialdehyde on nitrogen metabolism of animal brain tissue during hypoxia].
abstract: In examining the content of free ammonia, glutamine and some free amino acid s in the brain tissue of mice under normal conditions, in hypoxia and under the effect of succinic acidsemialdehyde, in hypoxia there was revealed a marked increase in comparison with the normal conditions) of the content of free ammonia, and alpha-alanine, a reduction of glutamine; there was also a slight elevation in the content of gamma aminobutyric acid and no changes in glutamic and asparagic acid content. In case of pretreatment with succinic acid semialdehyde the content of free ammonia, glutamine and alpha-alanine in hypoxia approached the normal value. One of the possible mechanisms of the antihypoxic effect of succinic acid semialdehyde was transformation of this compound as a results of which there occurred synthesis of glutamic acid and glutamine leading to detoxication of free ammonia accumulating in the brain tissue in hypoxia.
