The effect of oral administration of succinic acid was studied in 66 rats exposed to 10 min cardiac arrest with further resuscitation. A total of 30 mg/kg of the drug were administered daily for 5 days starting with day 3 up to day 7 after resuscitation. The experiments have revealed that treatment with succinic acid caused normalization of the orienting behavior in an 'open field' test, decrease of the intensity of response to electric shock, normalization of free radical formation in the brain and serum and reduced cerebral morphological changes. The succinic acid prevented the increase of cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoproteins in the blood. The data suggested that after additional trials the succinic acid could be used to prevent development of postresuscitation encephalopathies (3 months after reanimation).

Hypoxia poses a serious challenge for all animals; however, certain animals exhibit a remarkable resilience in the case of prolonged and severe hypoxia. The Siberian wood frog is a unique amphibian capable of surviving for up to several months at almost complete anoxia. We investigated changes in the metabolome of at the onset of hypoxia (day 1) and within 1 h of reoxygenation after a long-term hypoxia using H NMR.
