Anaerobic respiration
• vir Failure to resynthesize energy-rich phosphates & phosphocreatine
Catabolism of ATP -> AMP Altered ATP-dependent ionic membrane pump Intracellular accumulation of intracellular Ca2+ intracellular hypoxanthine & H2O Conversion of hypoxanthine Activation of phospholipases & Cellular Edema production of free fatty acids -> toxic oxygen species Reperfusion and re-introduction Phospholipases and free fatty acids degrade cellular membranes of molecular oxygen
