The generation of reactive oxygen species in leukocytes from 73 healthy donors is studied using the luminol-and lucigenin-dependent chemiluminiscent methods and the nitroblue tetrazolium test. The results suggest CO 2 is a potent inhibitor of generation of reactive oxygen species in leukocytes under pressure close to that in the blood (37.5 mm Hg) and under high pressure (146 mm Hg).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
