[The effect of hypoxia on the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity of the erythrocytes in rats].

Biochemical methods have shown, that adaptation of rats to the conditions of the middle mountains (2100 m above sea level) as well as with subsequent affecting acute hypoxia in the hypobaric chamber (7500 m, 2-5 h and 9000 m, 1-3 h) is accompanied by the increase of the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Its level also increases in experiment with nitrite methemoglobinemia and phenylhydrazine anemia, as well as with ionol introduction.
