Glucose-supported atrial resilience under anoxia in rabbits is hypothesis-generating; leaves open translation to human ischemic conditions.
Glycolysis of glucose can provide sufficient energy to maintain reduced electrical and mechanical activity in rabbit atria during prolonged anoxia.
William C. Yang (1963) studied this question.
