[The mechanisms of disordered oxidative metabolism at different stages of acute experimental inflammation of the salivary glands].

Acute purulent sialadenitis was modelled in experiments on rabbits by injecting Staphylococcus aureus. Follow-up of the development of inflammation showed an intimate relation between changes of the level of gland oxygenation and the values characterizing tissue respiration, carbohydrate metabolism, and lipid peroxidation.
