Abstract
After the exposed liver had been kept for 10 min at 30°C, cooling to 5°C led to “degradation” emission in both the visible and the ultraviolet parts of the spectrum. The presence of the ultraviolet component is explained by the higher energy level of the unbalanced molecular constellations in the cell substrate at 30°C than at a temperature of 38°C in the previous experiments, in which only the visible component was obtained during cooling. Further evidence of the higher level of metabolism at 30°C was given by the curves of the change in body temperature depending on the conditions of local heating or cooling of the liver.
