[Status of bioenergetic processes in brain tissue in dynamics of acute cranio-cerebral trauma].

Acute brain injury was simulated in rat experiments. Great changes were revealed in carbohydrate and energy metabolism over the course of the posttraumatic period. The changes are the most pronounced 1 day after injury and they showed deep energy deficiency in brain tissue and precede the development of and greatly contribute to the pathogenesis of many posttraumatic disorders, including brain edema-swelling.
