Summary
Experiments were staged on gravid and nongravid female rabbits (chinchilla breed).
The data obtained showed that normal gravidity is characterized by alkalotic changes in the metabolism, which is a necessary condition for normal fetal development and birth of physiologically mature offspring.
An acidotic shift in metabolism during gravidity is characteristic of pathological processes, resulting in the birth of immature newborns or arrest of fetal development. An acidotic derangement in metabolism during gravidity can be induced by experimental neurosis, i. e., suppression or inhibition of the gestation dominant.
