THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF SINGLET OXYGEN ADMINISTRATION ON CRYSTALLIZATION OF RATS’ BLOOD SERUM AT THERMAL TRAUMA

Biological and therapeutic effects of singlet oxygen have not been investigated yet. The aim of this paper is to estimate the influence of a short course (10 days) of singlet oxygen inhalations on crystallogenic properties of rats’ blood serum. The experiment was performed on 30 male Wistar rats, randomly divided into three equal groups. The first group was intact. The animals of the 2nd (control) and 3rd (test) groups under combined anesthesia were subjected to thermal trauma. Starting from the day following the injury, the rats of the test group inhaled daily the air flow from a singlet oxygen generator during 10 days. Blood samples were obtained from the rats of all groups. Dried samples were evaluated visually for crystallizability, structure index, facia destruction degree, and marginal zone clarity, using respective scales. It is stated that singlet oxygen inhalations facilitate the elimination of negative transformations in blood crystallization induced by thermal trauma. It indicates the positive rehabilitation potential.
