The tension of oxygen in the brain, liver, spleen, muscles and subcutaneous connective tissue of mice was studied during irradiation at a doserate of 200 r/min and upon administration of thiopental. At the same time, the consumption of oxygen was followed up after both procedures.During irradiation there was a decrease of oxygen-tension in the muscle and spleen of the narcotized mice, which continued after also irradiation. oxygen-consumption in mice irradiated at a rate 200 r/min decreased too. Agreement was found as to the time and trend of changes in the whole-body oxygen-consumption and tension of oxygen in tissues during irradiation.
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.
