Abstract
Summary
One hundred and sixty mg of methionine administered orally to rats 2 hours before subjecting them to a standardized thermal injury significantly increased the 48-hour survival rate. One hundred and sixty mg of methionine administered to rats orally following thermal injury did not increase their survival rate. Three hundred and twenty mg of methionine administered either orally or intraperitoneally following thermal injury failed to increase the 48-hour survival rate.
Ten cc of distilled water administered orally following thermal injury significantly increased the 48-hour survival rate.
