... in jejunal tissue, thereby interfering with energy metabolism and rendering the tissue vulnerable to damage. Jejunal tissue obtained from rats and humans was used for in vitro determinations of oxygen uptake, lactate production and energy charge levels in the presence of indomethacin, a commonly used NSAID...

... concentrations and energy charge were maintained at near-control values throughout the experimental period. By contrast, the arterial ketone body ratio decreased from 1.04 ±0.09 to 0.29 ±0.06 at 3 h after haemorrhage in Wiggers' shock model ( P <0.01). The ATP and total adenine nucleotide concentrations...

..., the cytochrome oxidase activity of mitochondria and the hepatic adenylate energy charge level ( in situ ) were studied in cirrhotic rat liver induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ). 2. In the cirrhotic liver mitochondria, concentrations of cytochrome a (+ a 3 ), cytochrome b , coenzyme Q 9 and coenzyme Q 10...
