Effects of in Vivo Hyperoxia on Erythrocytes. Ii. Hemolysis in a Human after Exposure to Oxygen under High Pressure.
atmospheric pressures has been recognized for several years.13 This phenomenon has recently assumed greater practical importance with the use of 100 per cent oxygen at reduced atmospheric pressure in space capsules4 and at increased pressures in hyperbaric chambers for medical and surgical purposes.5’6 Studies in this laboratory have shown that rodents exposed to oxygen under high pressure ( OH...
متن کاملT H E Production of Hydrogen Peroxide by High Oxygen Pressures* by Daniel L. Gilbert, Rebeca Gerschman, K. Barclay Ruhm,
Hydrogen peroxide is formed in solutions of glutathione exposed to oxygen. This hydrogen peroxide or its precursors will decrease the viscosity of polymers like desoxyribonucleic acid and sodium alginate. Further knowledge of the mechanism of these chemical effects of oxygen might further the understanding of the biological effects of oxygen. This study deals with the rate of solution of oxygen...

متن کاملThe Effect of Low Pressures on Cell Oxidation
1. A method is described for measuring tissue oxidation under reduced barometric pressure. 2. The oxygen uptake of yeast is diminished by low barometric pressures to a greater extent than by a reduction of the partial pressure of oxygen, to a corresponding degree, at atmospheric pressure. 3. This effect of low pressure is not observed with certain in vitro oxidation systems. 4. The anaerobic re...
متن کاملSpiracular esponses of Aedes mosquitoes to carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Observations were made on the responses of the thoracic spiracles of Aedes aeypti and Aedes triseriatus to a constant carbon dioxide pressure in serial concentrations of oxygen in nitrogen and to the oxygen in nitrogen series alone. Lower than atmospheric pressures of oxygen caused an increase in the frequency and duration of spiracular opening. Higher than atmospheric pressures of oxygen had n...
