title: [Features of the energy metabolism of the lizard Eremias arguta during hibernation].
abstract: During preparation to hibernation in E. arguta, fat stores increase together with glycogen content of the liver and partially of the muslces. Due to the decrease in locomotor activity of the animals, the level of unsaturated fatty acids in muscles increases. During 1- and 3-week hibernation (body temperature 2-4 degrees), glycogen of the liver and muscles is utilized. During 5-week hibernation, glycogen content of the liver and muscles increases as compared to 3-week hibernation by 3.5 and 2.3 times. In the brain the level of glycogen at all stages of hibernation is 1.4--2.1 times higher than in control animals. No accumulation in tissue lactate was observed during hibernation.
