Abstract

Disc-electrophoresis studies showed a threefold increase in the concentration of bromthymol blue-prealbumin (BTB-prealbumin; Rm=1.0) in the blood serum of rats after severe convulsions caused by exposure to oxygen in a pressure of 6 atm for 30–35 min. The appearance of a glial S100 protein component and a sevenfold increase in the concentration of an all-organ component of brain BTB-prealbumin in the blood serum of the experimental rats was discovered immunochemically. The consequences of disturbance of the blood—brain barrier for neurospecific and all-organ proteins and also the possibility of discharge of proteins from the brain into the blood stream as in the case of neurophysins during hyperbaric oxygenation are discussed.
