Abstract
Summary
Rats which are deprived of food and exposed for 48 hr either to >98% oxygen or compressed air lose an equal amount of weight. Under these conditions the incorporation of leucine-14C into protein is less in lung slices from rats exposed to hyperoxia than in lung slices from rats exposed to compressed air.
Supported in part by the John A. Hartford Foundation and the American Thoracic Society.
