in mongolian gerbils anesthetized with pentobarbital , the redox states of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ( nadh ) and flavoprotein components of the electron transport chain exhibit two distinct phases during the wave of spreading depression : ( 1 ) a transient period of oxidation and ( 2 ) a prolonged period of reduction , during which the cytochromes are reduced , and the hemoglobin is predominantly in the deoxy form .
