[Effect of exogenous succinate on the contents of tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites of the liver].

The paper deals with dynamics of tricarboxylic cycle metabolites in the liver after subcutaneous injection of succinate in a dose of 100 mg/kg to guinea pigs. Before the preparation administration the highest level was marked for succinate, malate and citrate. 3 h after the administration the succinate content increased by 57% and 6 h later it returns to the initial level. No essential changes were observed in the content of other tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites.
