PREVIOUS experiments have shown that in vitro exposure of suspensions of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells to oxygen at high pressure (OHP) causes cellular damage as indicated by vital dyes and that this damage can be irreversible, so that subsequent inoculation of these cells into normal mice fails to induce the disease.¹ Other investigators² have reported that the administration of sodium succinate (NAS) to rats prior to their exposure to OHP prevents the toxic action of OHP on these animals as indicated by the absence of overt central nervous system (CNS) effects including the typical oxygen convulsions, and by the survival of all of the exposed animals. The experiments herein described were undertaken in an attempt to determine what influence, if any, NAS might have on the toxic action of OHP on ascites cells mentioned above with expectation that such information might help explain the lethal action of OHP . . .
