Ten days course of 5'-GMP intramuscular administration at a dose of 25 mg/kg into rats with adrenaline-produced myocarditis led to normalization of NAD content in myocardial tissue which contributed to restoration of NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase activity.

Activity of lactate dehydrogenase and lactic acid content were not altered.
