[Ammonia formation in the brain during dying and in the recovery period following resuscitation].

Dynamics of some nitrogen metabolism indices in the brain of dogs during dying and post-resuscitation period was studied in experiments on dogs. Glutamine proved to serve as the main source of ammonium hydrate in the brain during dying and clinical death. In the reconstruction period after revival of the organism glutamine was converted into ammonium eliminator, and the main sources of ammoniogenesis were labile amide protein groups.
