Printed in Great Britain Oxygen Toxicity in Astasia
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Exposure of Astasia longa to oxygen+ carbon dioxide (95: 5) at atmospheric pressure leads to an inhibition of growth rate and of respiration. Growth resumes at the normal rate as soon as the oxygenation is discontinued, but respiration recovers more slowly. 2. Mitochondria prepared from cells exposed to oxygen + carbon dioxide (95: 5) during growth have considerably decreased activities of succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, succinate dehydrogenase and succinate oxidase activities as compared with mitochondria obtained from cells exposed to air+ carbon dioxide (95: 5). Cytochrome oxidase activity is not appreciably inhibited by exposure ofthe cells to 95% oxygen. 3. The mitochondrial fraction of Asta8ia contains rhodoquinone. The rhodoquinone concentration increases in cells exposed to 95% oxygen. The content of ergosterol-containing compounds also increases in the mitochondria of cells exposed to 95% oxygen. There is little change in the ubiquinone content of the mitochondrial fraction. The ubiquinone of Astasia appears to be ubiquinone-45.

Pulse oximetry is a useful way to monitor oxygen saturation in patients in a variety of clinical settings. Nurses need to understand the principles of oxygen transport and delivery to use pulse oximetry effectively in clinical practice.

oxygen species that are known to induce the peroxidation of polyunsaturated lipids in cell membranes and to cause degradation of structural proteins, enzymes and ribonucleic acids. These reactive intermediates of oxygen metabolism are converted mainly into molecular oxygen and water by antioxidant enzymes and normally are kept to a minimum in blood and organ tissues (Fridovich, 1978; Fridovich ...
