The effect of dexamethasone on the metabolism of the hormone regulators of carbohydrate metabolism in the postresuscitation period

Administration of dexamethasone (dexasone) to dogs against the background of dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system (HPAS) developing in the first three days of the postresuscitation period causes diverse changes in secretion of hormones of the pancreas. At a relative normalization of HPAS functioning noted 7 days after resuscitation the drug was shown to decrease intensity of glycolysis and processes of lipid peroxidation.
