    Summary
    In all experiments treatment with the peptide derivative caused a significant decrease in cerebral lactic acid level and a gradual decrease in basal oxygen consumption of the brain homogenates correlated with duration of treatment.

    Summary · context
    These effects could be observed after two different peptide derivative dosages, in differently aged animals and were always manifest and significant between the 3rd and the 7th day of treatment.
    Summary · context
    Rats have been treated with a peptide derivative (Cerebrolysin) for 3, 5, 7 or 14 days.
    Summary · context
    Investigations were made on cerebral protein and lactic acid concentration and on in vitro oxygen consumption of brain homogenates derived from treated rats.
