Abstract:Under an anoxic state, the anaerobic glycolytic pathway of the heart becomes the major source of metabolic energy (1). It was reported by Scheuer et al. (2) that the ele vation in cardiac glycogen improved mechanical performance during anoxia and Hearse et al. (3) demonstrated that the presence of glucose in the perfusion fluid during anoxia was essential for complete post-anoxic recovery. Weissler et al. (4) also reported that glucose contributed to the preservation of the functional capacity and structure … Show more
