[Significance of endogenous glutathione in realizing the oxygen effect in bone marrow cells].
It has been established using hemopoietic bone marrow cells or EHrlich ascites carcinoma cells that endogenous glutathione affects the realization of only those lesions which appear in response to an increase in radioresistance, for example during anoxia. The involvement of glutathione in the realization of the oxygen effect is not limited to the time of irradiation. The effect of glutathione extends to the postirradiation period i. e., it is not determined only by the competition with oxygen for target radicals.
