title: [Role of Mg2+ in keeping up the nonspecific immune functions of human neutrophils in vitro during hyperbaric exposure].
abstract: Earlier we have shown inhibition of the production by neutrophils of active forms of oxygen in humans exposed to high pressure. To get better understanding of the role of Mg2+ in the process, magnitude of the effect was assessed as a function of Mg2+ concentration using the activated hemiluminescent technique. It appears that in vitro production of active oxygen forms by blood neutrophils at high pressures can be sustained provided increased concentrations of Mg2+ in the incubating medium.
