Methaemoglobinbildung durch Röntgenstrahlen in normalen und katalasefreien Erythrocyten des Menschen

Summary

Methaemoglobin-formation in irradiated human red cells largely depends on catalase activity in either phase of the system. The formation rate is low in normal, but high in acatalatic cells. The latter rate can be lowered to normal by adding 0.1 γ/ml catalase to the suspending medium.
