title: [Krebs cycle in tissue of rats subjected to combined effect of hypercapnia, hypoxia and cooling].
abstract: The content of the Krebs cycle substrates and activity of dehydrogenases corresponding to them were studied in the brain and myocardium tissues of the non-linear male rats adapted to acute hypoxia under conditions of the altered gas medium. The content of malate and succinic acid was studied in the liver and skeletal muscles only. In the brain the total activity of malate dehydrogenase (MDH, EC 1.1.1.37, 1.1.1.39) alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KDH, EC 1.2.4.2) pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH, EC 1.2.4.1) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH, EC 1.1.1.41-42) is shown to be decreased and kept to be lowered in all the periods of the study. No essential shifts in the activity of these dehydrogenases were found in the myocardium. The activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.3.99.1) in both tissues lowers 48 h after the effect of the mentioned factors. Simultaneously the greatest changes in the level of the substrates were observed in the myocardium, in the brain they were less developed. In the liver the content of malate increases without pronounced changes in the amount of succinic acid and in the skeletal muscles the level of malate and succinic acid lowers.
