After administration of exogenous cytochrome c into rats with enterocolitis, caused by salmonellae, tissue respiration and oxidative phosphorylation in presence of succinic, alpha-ketoglutaric, pyruvic and oxaloacetic acids were increased in the liver tissue. Treatment with cytochrome c produced a positive effect on the general state of an organism, led to disappearance of macroscopic alterations in mucosa of small intestine. The data obtained suggest that cytochrome c possesses the positive therapeutic effects in enterocolitis caused by salmonellae.
