EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF METABOLIC CORRECTION OF MATERNAL,FETAL, AND NEWBORN HYPOXIA IN RATS USING A NEW AMINO ACID COMPOSITION MR-33

The status of pregnant rats, their fetuses, and progeny exposed to oxygen insufficiency are compares. By the end of pregnancy the resistance to hypoxia markedly decreases. Newborn rats during nursing are highly resistant to hypoxia. When nursing period is over, the resistance to hypoxia drops, but later is gradually restored. MR-33 preparation produces a pronounced antihypoxic effect. Administration of the drug to pregnant rats not only appreciably improves their resistance to oxygen insufficiency, but also promotes adaptation and compensatory mechanisms in the progeny, thus helping the progeny to better tolerate hypoxia, particularly when its probability is particularly high.
