[Effect of ascorbic acid preparations on certain indices of carbohydrate metabolism in tissues of animals with burns].

The glucose content and glucokinase, amylase, hyaluronidase activities were determined in skin of guinea pigs after a burn. It is shown that in the wound focus the amylase and hyaluronidase activities increase, and the activity of glucokinase decreases, the content of glucose grows. Application of ascorbic acid and galascorbin as remedies induces a decrease in the intensity of hydrolytic processes and improves the glucose utilization, particularly with galascorbin introduction. This may evidence for the predominance of reparative processes in the burn area and improvement of their supply with energy.
