Abstract
Summary
A simple and convenient method for producing standardized burn shock in rats is described. Isotonic saline injected intraperitoneally one hour before a standardized burn shock did not increase the survival rate; administration at the time of the burn or one hour following significantly increased the survival rate. Methionine-sa-line solution given one hour before burning significantly increased the survival rate; given at the time of the burn or one hour following, the effect was the same as with saline alone.
