THE EFFECT OF HYPERBARIC EXPOSURE ON SERUM CONSTITUENTS IN THE RAT: A PRELIMINARY STUDY.
Abstract
Rats were exposed to 90 PSIG on an 80:20 helium-oxygen gas mixture and decompressed on two different schedules, designed to produce moderate and severe bends. Serum samples were obtained immediately after the dive and analyzed for lipid distribution, serum lactic dehydrogenase, lipoproteins, haptoglobin, glucose, and lactate. The results of these determinations are discussed in relation to decompression sickness. (Author)
