摘要:For the purpose of studying the toxicity of borate on the blood, the effects on erythrocytes of guinea pigs were investigated. From the results obtained, the boron levels in erythrocytes were elevated by addition of borate to blood, and it was found that boron can enter into erythrocyte at the considerable rate according to the amount of borate added. The enzyme system of anaerobic glycolysis in erythrocyte was found to be markedly inhibited by addition of borate. It was also found that the levels of methemoglobin in erythrocyte revealed a remarkable tendency to increase after boron was added to erythrocyte. Similar results were also obtained in vivo experiments.
