[The effect of prenatal hyper- and hypoglycemia on liver mitochondrial function and carbohydrate metabolism in rat pups].

Hypoglycemia at the initial stage of the prenatal development decreased the level of glucose in the rat blood, increased glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver. Hyperglycemia increase the glucose content in the blood with relatively minor changes of the glucose-6-phosphatase activity and oxidation of hydrocarbonates.

[Effect of hyperglycemia and hyperthermia on liver mitochondrial respiration and blood glucose content of rats during postnatal ontogenesis].

Correlation between glucose level in blood and liver mitochondrial energetics of 1, 10, 20-days rats under hyperglycemia and high environmental temperature (38 degrees C) has been studied. Glucose feeding led to a significant increase of glucose content in blood, this increase being less at hyperthermia. Glucose feeding strengthened the oxidation of such intermediates as succinate (Krebs cycle), pyruvate and malate (hydrocarbonates) and caprylate (lipid).

[The reaction of a pregnant female and of her just-born rat pups to a change in ambient temperature and in the blood glucose level].

Cold exercises and hyperglycemia were found to exert a benevolent effect on the reproductive function and postnatal development of rats. Warmth and hyperglycemia during early periods of pregnancy led to a disturbance in the reproductive function and postnatal development in rats.
