Effects of Increased Oxygen on Cell Metabolism.

Abstract

These results suggest that the stage in cell growth most sensitive to oxygen causes cells to be delayed after DNA synthesis but before mitosis. A somewhat less sensitive site inhibits cells from initiating DNA synthesis. Also, the rate of DNA synthesis may be decreased by exposure to elevated oxygen tension. This study has characterized a system which has been advantageously used to explore the interaction between oxygen and human cells. (Author)
