Abstract
The dynamics of some indices of nitrogen metabolism in the brain was studied in dogs after lethal blood loss and in the postresuscitation period. The investigation showed that the main source of ammonia in the brain during the development of the organism and in the state of clinical death is glutamine. In the recovery period after resuscitation, however, glutamine becomes a remover of ammonia and the main source of ammonia becomes the labile amino groups of proteins.
