| Summary: | Objective: to study body glutamine kinetics in hepatic failure and in the course use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO). Material and methods. Experiments were performed on 210 female albino rats. HBO was thrice conducted at 3 ata as a 50-min session once daily after hepatectomy (HE, 15—20% of the liver weight); glutamine levels were measured in their visceral organs and blood from the following vessels: the aorta, v. porta, v. hepatica, v. renalis. Results. By eliminating the glutamine-excretory dysfunction of the operated liver, HBO corrects its glutamine deficiency. At the same time, HBO activates glutamine production by gastrointestinal organs with its further incretion into the portal blood flow. It also stimulates the absorption of glutamine by lung tissue and its deamidation in the latter, but causes a reduction in myocardial glutamine concentrations. By stimulating the development of arterial hyperglutaminemia, HBO prevents the development of transient glutamine deficiency in the splenocytes and delayed postoperative portal hypoglutaminemia. HBO does not exert a substantial impact on brain tissue glutamine changes, but it regulates renal glutamine kinetic changes induced by partial HE. Conclusion. Hyperbaric oxygen used for hepatic failure induced by HE recovers body kinetic disorders of glutamine in this abnormality, by concurrently regulating the adaptive changes in its metabolism in the organs, which occur in response to liver damage. Key words: glutamine, metabolism, hepatic failure, hyperoxia. |
