Book Responses of Animals to Oxygen at Reduced Pressure

Download or read book Responses of Animals to Oxygen at Reduced Pressure written by J. D. MacEwen and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As extensions of previous short-term experiments on the toxicity of oxygen at reduced pressure in animals, long-term continuous exposures of beagle dogs, rhesus monkeys and albino rats and mice were undertaken. The exposures were for 230 days to 100% oxygen at 5 psia. No mortality occurred in the exposed dogs or monkeys. More rats and mice died in the control groups than in the experimental groups, indicating no effects on mortality due to the experimental conditions. The growth rates of control and experimental rats were almost identical, further indicating lack of deleterious effects. Histopathologic examination of tissues was conducted on all four animal species. No differences were observed between exposed animals and their controls in monkeys, rats or mice. Minimal differences consisting of mild bronchitis and mild congestion were seen in the dogs exposed to 100% oxygen at reduced pressure. One exposed dog exhibited severe pulmonary changes associated with acute interstitial bronchial pneumonia. Periodic measurements of blood constituents showed no significant differences attributable to prolonged oxygen exposure at reduced pressure.

Book Research on Oxygen Toxicity at the Cellular Level

Download or read book Research on Oxygen Toxicity at the Cellular Level written by Willis H. Riesen and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of pure oxygen atmospheres at reduced pressure in manned spacecraft has stimulated new research interest. Exposure of humans to pure oxygen at total pressures of 5 to 7 psia for up to 30 days has generally produced only subjective and occasional symptomatic distress. Nevertheless, studies with animals have clearly documented toxicity if the exposure to pure oxygen is at higher total pressures. The selection of suitable oxygen atmospheres for manned space flight and the development of protective measures against toxic manifestations will be considerably facilitated by a clearer understanding of the toxic syndrome. Rats, dogs, and monkeys were exposed to pure (98.5%) oxygen at 1 atm and 1/3 atm in a closed, recirculating chamber and in a nonrecirculating chamber. Rats exposed to a pressure of 1 atm showed significant reduction in efficiency of liver mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Weight loss accompanied this change. Insignificant changes were found in liver or lung mitochondrial oxygen consumption; liver or lung NAD, NADH, or NAD/NADH; and arterial blood lactate and pyruvate, and lactate/pyruvate ratio. A composite index of oxygen toxicity was derived from a multivariant data analysis. Exposure of rats to pure oxygen at 1/3 atm showed slight elevation in P/O ratio in 7 days. The ratio returned to normal in 2 weeks and remained so for 8 months. No significant weight changes were observed. Only preliminary experiments with the dogs and monkeys were conducted, therefore no conclusions can as yet be made. There is an indication that monkeys are more resistant to oxygen toxicity at 1 atm than rats.
