Alterations of FFA, Glucose and Lactate Metabolism in Shock.
Abstract
Several of the metabolic alterations characterizing various shock models have been uncovered and described. Special attention was given to the metabolic changes of the myocardium which are quite marked and consistent from one shock model to another. It appears that in this tissue the importance of fatty acid oxidation is underemphasized during shock while the significance of lactate utilization becomes greater. These studies take us a step closer to the understanding of metabolic inadequacies accompanying shock with the eventual understanding of subcellular damage leading to the irreversibility of this condition.
