Biochemistry Of Submarine And Diving Stress. Iii. Plasma Creatine, Creatine Phosphate And Creatine Phosphokinase Responses To Hypercapnia.
Creatine phosphokinase, the enzyme which is currently the most sensitive tool for detecting myocardial infarction, has been shown to also be useful for the detection of serious or irreversible damage to animals exposed to stressful levels of environmental carbon dioxide.
Abstract
Abstract : Creatine phosphokinase, the enzyme which is currently the most sensitive tool for detecting myocardial infarction, has been shown to also be useful for the detection of serious or irreversible damage to animals exposed to stressful levels of environmental carbon dioxide. Since accumulation of carbon dioxide is a problem for which Navy divers must be constantly alert and which may affect workers in any confined environment, this analysis is suggested as a clinical test for monitoring potential damage to the health of operational personnel.
