Abstract
Summary
Buffered ascorbic acid and chlorpromazine were injected intraperitoneally into mice and the effect on body temperature and anoxic resistance to drowning measured. Significant increases in survival time were noted with ascorbic acid and especially with chlorpromazine. Lowered body temperatures were noted with both compounds. When anoxic survival to drowning was measured, prolongation of life was increased to a maximum of 40% with ascorbic acid and 121% with chlorpromazine.
