ZNT-1 Expression Reduction Enhances Free Zinc Accumulation in Astrocytes After Ischemic Stroke
Excess intracellular zinc has been implicated in ischemic brain cell death. We previously reported that extracellular zinc increases intracellular free zinc level only in hypoxic astrocytes but not in normoxia...

In vivo reduction of chromium (VI) and its related free radical generation
Chromium (VI) compounds are widely recognized as human carcinogens. Extensive studiesin vitroand in model systems indicate that the reactive intermediate, Cr (V), generated by cellular reduction of Cr (VI), is li...

Effects of Ketamine/Xylazine and Pentobarbital Anesthesia on Cerebral Tissue Oxygen Tension, Blood Pressure, and Arterial Blood Gas in Rats
General anesthesia is needed in many animal experiments in order to carry the studies out in an effective and appropriate manner. The concentration of oxygen in tissues is often a critical variable in many of ...

Effect of Anesthesia on Cerebral Tissue Oxygen and Cardiopulmonary Parameters in Rats
General anesthesia is known to alter cardiopulmonary and hematological parameters which affect tissue oxygenation. However, the effect of various types of anesthetics on the relationship between brain tissue pO2 ...

Comparisons of Measurements of pO2 in Tissue In Vivo by EPR Oximetry and Micro-Electrodes
Polarographic micro-electrode measurements are very useful for measuring pO2 in vivo, especially for measurements of the variation of pO2 within a tumor (1,2,8). This method has se...

Thermo-Induced Phase Transitions and Regulation of Permeability of Biomimetic Membranes
For many years membrane science was essentially subdivided into two major fields: artificial membranes used mainly in separation/purification technology and biological membranes. During the last ten years howe...

Measurements of pO2 in Vivo, Including Human Subjects, by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
The purpose of this paper is to provide an illustrative description of the current state of development of the use of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR, or completely equivalently, electron spin resonance o...
