Abstract
Summary
Mice were subjected to severe stress by scalding, ligation trauma, injection of a toxic dose of a bacterial polysaccharide, or exposure to cold. Each of these procedures produced a marked decrease in liver non-protein sulfhydryl concentration. In some experiments, a moderate decrease in liver protein sulfhydryl concentration also occurred. Mice recovering from scalding exhibited marked increases in liver non-protein sulfhydryl concentration to values well above the original control level.
