The Effect of Lactate on the Radiation Response of CHO-K1 Cells in Culture
Abstract
The radiobiological effect of lactate is described. Prolonged incubation of CHO-K1 cells over a wide range of lactate concentrations sensitized them to subsequent irradiation. Survival curves indicated that the size of the shoulder was reduced. Short treatment times resulted in a radioprotective effect and an increase in the survival curve slope. Lactate levels used were within physiological limits and are therefore discussed in relation to …
