Details on dosing and sampling:
After sacrifice liver, muscle and kidney were weighed homogenised and analysed for glycogen, lactic acid, pyruvate, lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, glycogen phosphorylase

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

- the glycogen content in liver, muscle and kidney decreased in treated rats (maximum effect in liver)

- elevated levels of lactic acid, decreased pyruvate levels in liver, muscle and kidney

- succinate dehydrogenase and glycogen phosphorylase activity was low in liver, muscle and kidney

- lactate dehydrogenase activity was decreased in liver and muscle and increased in kidney

- treatment with the test substance altered the carbohydrate metabolism by stimulating the glycolytic pathway.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Focus of the study was the investigation of carbohydrate metabolism.
Intraperitoneal injection of 2.2 mmol/kg bw/d Guanidinium hydrochloride for 7 d altered the carbohydrate metabolism in rat liver, muscle and kidney by stimulating the glycolytic pathway.
