Abstract

During the ischemic shock caused by the removal of tourniquets placed on the hind paws of the rat, a marked decrease in the enzyme activities of Krebs cycle yielding ATP (malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase) at the level of the gastrocnemius muscle and the liver, was observed together with a plasma increase of these enzymes. The intraperitoneal injection of ATP diminishes significantly the variations observed.
