Oxygen effect and adaptation reactions of cells. Report 5. Limited use of Eh and pO/sub 2/ as quantitative indicators of modification of radiosensitivity

OSTI ID:5663016
In this work a quantitative analysis of tissue oxygen tension and redox potential, Eh, in relation to radiosensitivity modified by gas hypoxia and certain pharmacological agents was conducted. Male mice were exposed to total-body gamma radiation for the experiments. Oxygen tension was determined in subcutaneous tissue, bone marrow, and spleen by the polarographic method. Eh was measured by the electrometry method in subcutaneous tissue using standard methods with platinum electrodes. The radioprotective agents used were 2,3-aminopropylaminoethylthiophosphate and guanylthiourea.
