[Status of glycolysis in newborns with hypoxia]. / Sostoianie glikoliza u novorozhdennykh s gipoksiei.

An incriase has been shown in the blood content of lactate, NADH2, pyruvate, activity of lactatedehydrogenase in hypoxic newborn infants, which fact is believed to have a positive character. Under conditions of deficient supply of tissues with oxygen activization of glycolysis is of compensatory character. The results obtained should be regarded as a positive factor aimed to make up for the fund of NADH2, a potential energy product securing ATP synthesis through aerobic mechanism.
