Title: Detection of CCl/sub 4/-induced oxidation of hepatic tissue in vivo by oxygen-18 tracing

Abstract

Oxygen can become a damaging influence in tissues and cells exposed to environmental pollutants. This paper describes the first application of a new technique for tracing oxygen in tissues exposed to pollutants. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl/sub 4/) was found to cause oxidation of liver tissue in rats which was measurable using oxygen-18 labeling procedures. Rats that breathed oxygen-18 while being exposed to CCl/sub 4/ were found to have oxidized lipids, macromolecules, and water-soluble substances in their livers. The techniques outlined in the paper should be useful for elucidating mechanisms of injury and increased aging of tissues exposed to pollutants.
