Selected biochemical variables in a model of neonatal anoxia in rats.
OBJECTIVES: To assess the time course of biochemical responses to neonatal anoxia.
METHODS: Neonatal anoxia was induced by placing 2-day-old rat pups into a glass chamber with 100% N(2) atmosphere, T=36.5 degrees C, for 20 minutes. The samples of serum, brain, lungs and liver were taken after 10 minutes, 2, 6, 12.....
