Ip. Levshina et al., MICROCIRCULATION AND ACTIVITY OF SUCCINAT E AND NADH-DEHYDROGENASES IN NEUROTIC DISORDERS OF THE HIGHER NERVOUS ACTIVITY IN WHITE-RATS, Zurnal vyssej nervnoj deatelnosti im. I.P. Pavlova, 45(4), 1995, pp. 811-816
A correlation was made between microcirculation and energy metabolism
in the brain of 50 neurotized rats. Neurotic disorders were defined by
characteristics of conditioning, arterial pressure, breathing rate an
d heart rate. In vivo biomicroscopy revealed modification of the state
of blood vessels at rest and inverted reaction of brain pial vessels
of neurotized rats to bilateral occlusion of common carotid arteries.
Ratio of activities of respiratory cycle enzymes (succinate and NADH-d
ehydrogenases) was indicative of hypoxic state of the animals under st
udy.
