Abstract
Experiments were performed to examine the effects of dextrose added to lactate Ringer solution (LR) in dogs under surgical stress conditions. The results were as follows: 1. LR with dextrose (LRD) inhibited the release of NEFA in dogs under surgical stress conditions. 2. LRD increased the content of liver glycogen of dogs under surgical stress conditions. 3. Transfusion with LRD maintained sufficient urine excretion in dogs under surgical stress conditions. From these results, it was suggestd that LRD shold be used rather than LR alone, since the addition of dextrose to LR had favorable effects on dogs under surgical stress conditions.
