Abstract
The effect of subcutsneous introduction of glutamic acid on the oxygen intake of rats was investigated in conditions of normal and decreased (12%) content of oxygen in inhaled air. It was established that the introduction of glutamic acid in normal partial oxygen pressure causes only insignificant increase of its intake (by 6%). In condition of hypoxia it is increased by 29%. On the basis of experiments it is suggested that the stimulating effect of glutamic acid is the result of its ability to introduce the products of metabolism which are not fully oxidized into the oxidative cycle of tricarboxylic acids.
