title: [The modelling of the glycolytic oscillations in the potential of the oxidative-reductive status of the brain tissue in waking and anesthetized rats].
abstract: It was found that chemical hypoxia created by intraperitoneal injection of potassium cyanide (5-7 mg/kg) induced in both waking and anaesthetized (pentobarbital, 40 mg/kg) albino rats a significant decrease in the brain redox state potential (E) monitored with platinum electrodes. This decrease could be accompanied by a generation in some brain points of local chains of gradually damped quasisinusoidal E oscillations. Such oscillations were more expressed in waking than in anaesthetized animals. The frequency range of these oscillations was 4-7 cycles/min. This is the range of overlapping frequency ranges characteristic for the high level of vigilance (5-20 cycles/min) and slow-wave sleep and drowsiness (1.5-6 cycles/min). The amplitude of the observed oscillations was close to the maximal amplitude of the brain E oscillations characteristic for the high level of vigilance (up to several mV). The obtained evidence favors our suggestion that behavior-related E oscillations are formed by the oscillations in the redox balance of glycolysis. The similarity of the normal physiological oscillations and those simulated by us under abnormal conditions suggest a certain common mechanism of their generation.
