[The postaggressive reactions of the early period in acute craniocerebral trauma].

Experiments were conducted to study metabolic reactions developing in the first hours and days in response to craniocerebral trauma (CCT). Analysis of dynamics of the metabolism of glucose, lactate, and pyruvate, activity of enzymes in the blood, brain tissue, and in the cells, and the condition of the mitochondria made it possible to reveal the features of the course of postaggressive reactions in the early period of CCT. These reactions were hyperergic and their degree and trend depended on the severity of the brain damage.
