THE EFFECT OF VITAMINS ON THE RESISTANCE TO ACUTE HYPOXIA / 营养学报

ABSTRACT

In an attempt to study the effect of vitamins on hypoxia, two experiments were carried out by using animal as follows A) the survival rate and time in mice treated with nicotinamide alone or vitamin complex were investigated under the decompressed hypoxic condition simulated an altitute of 10, 500-11,000m. B) NAD+ in the heart and liver tissues as well as lac-tate, pyruvate and lactate/pyruvate (L/P) ratio in the brain of the rats given nicotinamide alone or vitamin complex were measured after asphyxic anoxia.By this study, the following results were obtained; 1) both nicotinamide and vitamin complex could prolong the survival time significantly (p
