— The concentrations of free amino acids and glycogen in the cerebral cortex of normal and deeply hypothermic (body temperature 18–20°C) rats were measured. The significant changes which accompanied the induction of hypothermia were a large reduction in glutamic acid concentration and moderate increases in the concentrations of glutamine and aspartic acid. The concentrations of γ‐aminobutyric acid, N ‐acetylaspartic acid and glycogen did not change significantly.
