Involvement of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the adaptive protection of human lymphocytes after hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence suggests that HO-1 plays an important role in cellular protection against oxidant-mediated cell injury. Our previous studies on hyperbaric oxygen (HBO; i.e. exposure to pure oxygen under high ambient pressure) indicated clearly increased levels of HO-1 in lymphocytes of volunteers 24 h after HBO treatment (1 h at 1.5 bar). Experiments with the comet assay (alkaline single cell gel...
