[Effects of hypertonic lactated Ringer's solution on hepatic ATP and L/P ratio in rats subjected to acute hemorrhage]

This study aimed to clarify the difference in the effects of hypertonic lactated Ringer's solution (HLS) on hepatic ATP level and L/P ratio during acute hemorrhage in rats. The hepatic ATP level in HLS 230 group was lower, and L/P ratio in HLS 300 group was higher than those in the control group. There was no significant difference in glycogen among 4 groups. However, pH and the base excess in HLS 230 and HLS 300 group were significantly higher than those in the C group. Heart rate in HLS 300 group was significantly lower than that in the C group. These results suggest that HLS may not be useful with regard to the hepatic energy metabolism, although it improves the metabolic acidosis during acute hemorrhage.
