Microampere currents applied with metal electrodes to the mesenteric vessels 0% mice caused thrombosis, accornpn~~ied by electrolyte dissociation arid gas formation. When the products of dissociation were removed, clramping, canstriction, or tkrollnhosis did not occur. i ! hen gltiss-starch electrodes were used, currents u p ta 200 applied for 30 minutes, were without eflest. Changing to platintam electrodes and applying 5$-BrL1 currents cdused, in Iess than 30 seconds, corlstrictioa~ at the negative pole, clumping, and tkron~bosis, witIaout constriction a t the positive pole. Measiarem~ents showed a n increase in pH a t t h e riegative pole
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.
