[Energy potential of the liver in the early period of the crush syndrome].

Experiments on rats with a severe compression trauma were made to study the liver content of ATP, ADP, AMP and inorganic phosphate. It was established that in the early period of the crush syndrome, the rats manifested pronounced changes in the energy potential of the liver, attesting to the disturbances of the processes of energy production in that vitally important organ. It is assumed that liver ischemia and direct action on the liver of toxic factors of the protein nature circulating in the blood may be one of the reasons for the disturbances under discussion.
