Effects of Tumbling Trauma, Scalding and Hemorrhage on Rat Tissue Non-Protein Sulfhydryl.

Abstract
Significant decreases in concentration of non-protein -SH were noted in rat liver following tumbling trauma, and in rat liver and kidney following severe scalding. In analyses confined to the liver, a significant decrease in liver non-protein -SH was noted following severe hemorrhage. No appreciable change was noted in either liver protein -SH or extractable liver protein. Blood non-protein -SH concentrations were practically identical for control and tumbled rats. Scalded rats exhibited a moderate increase in concentration of blood non-protein -SH, paralleling the hemoconcentration.
