The effects of intravenously injected hydrazine (25-100 mg/kg) on liver glycogen, arterial glucose, lactate and pyruvate were studied in the anesthetized dog. Immediately following hydrazine there was a transient hyperglycemia, followed by a severe hypoglycemia. The response of glucose was dependent on the initial liver glycogen content. Arterial lactate and pyruvate showed marked elevations after hydrazine. Acidosis with "excess lactate" developed several hours later. The rate of lactate and pyruvate accumulation after hydrazine was proportional to hydrazine dosage up to 50 mg/kg. When hypoglycemia was prevented by glucose infusion, glycogen depletion still occurred and lactate and pyruvate accumulation was marked. These effects of hydrazine on glucose metabolism are discussed in the light of other known hydrazine-induced metabolic changes.
