[Combined effect of hyperglycemia and chemo- and radiation action on the status of metabolic processes in certain experimental sarcomas in rats].

A number of metabolic parametres were studied in subcellular fractions of rat sarcoma 45, M-1 and carcinosarcoma Worker 256. Administration of high doses of glucose amplified some effects of chemotherapeutic drugs and X-ray therapy, which were manifested as follows: a decrease in glycolysis rate, alteration in the rate of redox reactions, shifts in the ratio between glycolysis and biological oxidation in mitochondria. These alterations were determined by the type of sarcoma, by sequence of operations in the procedure and by cytostatic used.

[Changes in carbohydrate-energy metabolism in the rat brain during laser irradiation].

Laser irradiation of rats increases the activity of hexokinase and aerobic isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase, activates succinate- and alpha-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and decreases the level of amino acids of a glutamine group.
